Luis Suarez fired a sensational hat-trick against Norwich City at the Carrow Road, to help http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 secure a comfortable 3-0 win in a Premier League match on Saturday.
The Uruguayan International struck twice in the space of four minutes before the half-hour mark, and completed his maiden hat-trick for the Reds with a sensational 45 yards shot, after noticing the keeper to be standing off his line.
However, the win kept Liverpool at the eighth place in the league table, as their Merseyside rivals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019, dispatched Fulham 4-0 at Goodison Park to maintain their two point advantage over the Reds.
The boss at Anfield, Kenny Dalglish said in the post match interview, “It was a fantastic team performance. We're really pleased with the way they've committed themselves to the game today, as we were last week when we never got the result that the performance
deserved. Every single one of the players in the squad could play for us against anybody.”
A wet out-field resulted in a slow start to the game, with players from both the sides trying to accustom themselves to the difficult playing conditions. Just in the opening stages of the game, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Canaries-c38723 defender Adam Drury suffered a groin injury and
was subsequently substituted in the 12th minute.
Liverpool, who were playing a more fluent game than the hosts, went ahead in the 24th minute.
The Reds skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Fox inside the Norwich half, and played wonderful pass to a charging Suarez from outside his right foot. The striker darted inside the Canaries box, and fired an unstoppable left-footed shot into the far
corner, to put his side ahead on the evening.
Only four minutes later, another error in the Norwich rearguard set-up the Reds second goal.
Suarez wrestled the ball away from Elliot Ward and made a galloping run from the right flank into the Norwich area. The Reds ace then let loose a powerful low shot to the bottom left corner of the goal, to stretch his side’s lead to two goals.
After the halftime break, the hosts looked more resilient and pressed forward in a bid to get back into the game. Elliot Bennett took a veering shot from the edge of the box, but his effort was kept away by the Liverpool shot stopper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672.
Minutes later, the Reds added another moment of misfortune to their already soaring tally this season, after Jonjo Shelvey’s header hit the woodwork.
The drenched out-field then prevented the juvenile English footballer from scoring again, as he slipped only yards in front of the goal, in a bid to tap-in a low cross from Jose Enrique from the left.
However, Suarez closed out the match in the 82nd minute, in a sensational manner. The striker saw http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Ruddy-c18892 standing off his line, and fired a perfect shot over his head to complete his first hat-trick for the Reds, and earned the match ball
at the end of the game.
