Suarez brace sinks Latics

Striker Luis Suarez proved just how valuable he is to Liverpool with two goals and an assist to help secure a 3-0 win over Wigan at Anfield.

The Uruguay international struck twice in nine second-half minutes and also played a part in the third which saw Jose Enrique score his first goal for the club.

Reports this week that Manchester City were ready to make a £40million bid for the striker in January were dismissed by Roberto Mancini and Brendan Rodgers, with the latter confidently stating his prize asset was not for sale.
