Liverpool FC have confirmed official club records will show a Peter Crouch double strike against Wigan Athletic at Anfield.

Chief Executive Rick Parry said: "It's ridiculous that people are suggesting Peter's opener this afternoon was an own goal. Just because the goalkeeper touches a goalbound effort before it enters the net does not mean that it should be registered as an own goal.

"Our official records will record that Peter scored twice against Wigan Athletic. There is absolutely no reason for any panel to consider whether the goal should be credited to him."
