Sterling’s fifth league goal of the season early in the second half set the Reds on the way to a win that lifted them above West Ham in the table. But as inspirational as the young striker was, this game will be remembered most for the long-awaited return of striker Sturridge after almost five months on the sidelines. The England star had only been on the pitch for 13 minutes when he made sure of the points with his second goal of the season. Boss Brendan Rodgers could not hide his joy at the sight of Sturridge wheeling away after hitting the net again and said: “I know he is excited to be coming back into this team. “It was nice for him to score. He has obviously been out a long time and has had to work very hard. “But when he is in that area of the field he looks dangerous. It was a great first touch and a wonderful finish. Source daily star
