Wigan 1-1 Liverpool – Player Ratings
Mohamed Salah netted on his Liverpool debut as the Reds came from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Wigan Athletic on Friday night.
The Egyptian played for 45 minutes and impressed at the DW Stadium before rounding off his encouraging display with a left-footed finish on the stroke of half-time.
The video below goes through player ratings for each individual as Jurgen Klopp again fielded completely different sides in each period.

The Reds fell behind midway through the first half when Alex Gilbey struck into the bottom corner after the ball fell loose from a set-piece.
Liverpool had several chances to level, including a sitter for Roberto Firmino who when clean through opted to try and pick out Adam Lallana rather than go for goal.
But the new number nine made the right decision when played in behind by Philippe Coutinho just before the break, squaring to Salah who slotted home.
The second half brought fewer chances, but the visitors did have opportunities to win the game late on.
Daniel Sturridge blazed one high and wide when you may have expected him to score, and in the dying embers James Milner made his way into the box but goalkeeper Owen Evans dived low to his left to make the save.
Next up for Klopp’s side is Crystal Palace as the Reds take to Asia.
