Rodgers salutes ‘best’ win

Liverpool 2 Hull City 0

And the Liverpool manager also praised Luis Suarez for playing through the pain as the Uruguay forward added another sublime goal to his ever-growing collection to help the Reds to the three points.

After two defeats on the road to Manchester City and Chelsea over the festive period, Liverpool needed to rely on home comforts to get back to winning ways and get back into the top four. And they did so through the brilliance of Suarez yet again, who played with a “bad knock” on his foot that did not stop him scoring a stunning free-kick amid another lively display.
