Liverpool 4 West Brom 1: It's the SAS show AGAIN! Super Suarez treble and Sturridge's sublime chip sends Reds soaring to second

Luis Suarez lit up Anfield with an excellent hat-trick and strike partner Daniel Sturridge also found the back of the net as Liverpool cruised past West Brom and into second place in the Premier League.

The Uruguayan scored twice in five first-half minutes before completing his hat-trick with a header early in the second half.

After James Morrison fired home a penalty for West Brom, the Premier League's top scorer Sturridge rounded off the scoring in the 77th minute.

Sturridge celebrated his goal with his familiar dance routine

Shortly after Suarez scored a superb first as early as the 12th minute Reds owner John Henry, watching from his home in America, tweeted 'Luis. Magician.'

It was difficult to argue with that assessment after seeing Suarez ghost past two West Brom players to slot home.

By the end of the game there were plenty of more superlatives to use - and that was not even taking into account a superb overhead kick with 10 minutes to go which crashed against the bar.

All this against a side with the third-best defensive away record in the league having conceded just two.

Suarez's second and third goals both came from headers, one almost from the edge of the penalty area, to make it 36 goals in his last 46 matches and 57 in 101 Liverpool appearances overall.
