Chat212 Sportsmail investigates the best scenarios
- Luis Suarez has send the number crunchers into overdrive with 13 in nine matches.
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez scored four goals - including a superb 20-minute first-half hat-trick - to send the number crunchers into overdrive and Norwich back to East Anglia disconsolate.
The statistics piling up for the Uruguay international at Anfield are remarkable and surpassed only by his personal record against the Canaries as the 26-year-old became the first Premier League player to score three hat-tricks against the same team in the 5-1 victory.
Chat212 Mail: Luis Suarez owns the show at Anfield
Suarez now has 11 goals in five appearances against Norwich - and he did not score in his first game against them. In his last four appearances he is averaging a goal every 33 minutes.
Ian Rush was the club's all-time top scorer against Norwich with nine and it took him 21 matches. Suarez effortlessly breezed past him, having begun the day level with David Fairclough and the watching Kenny Dalglish.
The bigger picture shows Suarez's 50th league goal for the Reds - another brilliant effort to complete his hat-trick - came up in only his 85th game and in doing so took the outright lead as the Premier League's top scorer this season with 13 in nine matches.
Those statistics alone make the B£40,000,001 bid by Arsenal in the summer look even more ridiculous.
But impressive as the raw figures are they by no means do justice to the individual brilliance of the striker.
