Liverpool secured a first Premier League victory at Stoke City and climbed to fourth in the table with a dramatic 5-3 win on Sunday.
The visitors were far from convincing at times, but they picked up what could prove to be a pivotal win in their push for a Champions League place.
According to Sport24, Liverpool raced into an early 2-0 lead, with a Ryan Shawcross own goal and star striker Luis Suarez's effort giving them an apparently comfortable cushion, although Stoke hit back with a Peter Crouch header and a Charlie Adam shot.
However, Steven Gerrard restored the visitor's lead with a penalty before Suarez curled in a fourth, and although Stoke's Jonathan Walters reduced the arrears in the 85th minute, but Daniel Sturridge celebrated his return from an ankle injury by scoring Liverpool's fifth, the report added.
