Comments:

League position: 2nd With Luis Suarez already having netted 28 goals in the Premier League, Daniel Sturridge's goal in this game was his 20th of the season. It therefore became the first time that two Liverpool players had scored 20 or more goals in a league season since Roger Hunt and Ian St. John in 1963-64. The Dubious Goals Committee ruled on the following: - Liverpool’s second goal has been confirmed a Daniel Sturridge goal.

League position: 18th
