Luis Suarez |
Luis Suarez scored a rare hat trick as he lead Liverpool in beating gritty West Bromwich Albion side 4-1.
The first goal came in the 12th minute. Suarez received a pass from Kolo Toure and raced towards the penalty box. Suarez then skirted Jonas Olsson and fired just as he entered the box and scored. Then five minutes later, in the 17th minute, Suarez received a pass from Aly Cissokho from the left and headed the ball just outside the penalty box.
In the 54th minute, Claudio Yakob fouled Daniel Sturridge and set up a free kick by Steven Gerrard which Luis Suarez completed through a glancing header.
Liverpool further stretched their lead in the 77th minute when Youssouf Mulumbu lost possession and the bounce went to Daniel Sturridge who scored with a chip shot that was beyond reach of Albion's keeper Boaz Myhill. Sturridge celebrated with an Egyptian dance.
West Bromwich Albion though made a consolation goal through a penalty by James Morrison in the 66th minute from a Lucas Lieva foul on Albion's Billy Jones.
