Defiant Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez insists they can still win the Premier League despite the 1-1 draw at Wigan.
Yossi Benayoun gave Liverpool a half-time lead at the JJB Stadium but Mido equalised from the penalty spot on his debut.
Benitez reacted by replacing his talisman Steven Gerrard with Robbie Keane but Wigan almost won the match in injury-time when Hugo Rodallega curled a free-kick against the Liverpool crossbar.
Benitez said: "When you are top of the table you know that every single game is really important so when you lose two points you have to be disappointed.
"If we play like we played in the first half we can beat anyone.
"All the games will be important until the end of the season. It depends on the other teams too but we have to try to play well and try to win."
If Liverpool had held on to beat Wigan, they would have been level with Manchester United at the top of the Premier League.
But they are two points behind, level with Chelsea, and united have a game in hand on both clubs.
Liverpool and Chelsea meet on Sunday at Anfield.
