Liverpool 2, Stoke City 1: Suarez Finds the Mark

Stoke City 1 Jones 44′
Liverpool 2 Suarez 54′ 85′

After the first half it seemed as though it was going to be the same old story for Liverpool: Possession, passing, at times slick play, and an inability to finish. Throw in a Kenwyne Jones goal a minute before the break after sloppy defending led to Stoke’s first and only chance of the half, a hostile venue, and another referee who seemed determined not to call anything on Luis Suarez, and it had the makings of a hugely frustrating day for the visitors. And on top of all that, Liverpool had yet to come from behind in victory since Kenny Dalglish took over.
