The Wigan manager admitted his side were second best throughout the game and that Liverpool were worthy winners.

"Liverpool controlled the game from start to finish let's not kid ourselves and they strolled through the game," said former Red Jewell.

"We came with a game plan to try and frustrate Liverpool and silence the crowd and to a certain extent that worked but they had too much quality.

"It wasn't the best of games and I don't like playing that way but we are fighting to stay in this division and I couldn't attack Liverpool in our position. We had to defend and get men behind the ball because it is always difficult to come here."
