Agger gifted Wigan the opening goal on Saturday before making amends by setting up Dirk Kuyt's first goal eight minutes later. Agger later admitted he was relieved his error wasn't costly.

"I was pleased to start the game against Wigan, it was what I have been waiting for," said the defender.

"It was a stupid mistake to make for their first goal, but that's football and you can't afford to dwell on things like that - you have to carry on.

"Luckily enough we managed to go on and win the game 3-2 and obviously I am very happy about that.

"It was a misunderstanding and I didn't hear anything but it was my mistake and I can't say anything more about it.

"Today was tough for me. It was really, really hard.

"Of course, it is a long time since I last played so I have to get used to it again and then I will improve."
