Comments:

League position: 18th Sunderland were now unbeaten in their last five home games in the Premier League. Jack Rodwell had now made his 34th start for Sunderland in the Premier League but was yet to be on the winning team, so extending the competition record. Jermain Defoe became the fourth player to score ten or more goals in ten different Premier League seasons (also Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard).

Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool had now lost only one of their last 18 Premier League games (won 12). This was the first time that the Reds had two penalties scored against them in a Premier League game since 2 April 2011 when Chris Brunt converted two spot-kicks in West Bromwich Albion's 2-1 win. Daniel Sturridge had now scored in consecutive Premier League games after a run of 12 appearances without a goal.
