The Serb netted his first Premier League goal as
Brendan Rodgers’ resurgent men extended their
unbeaten run in all competitions to seven games
Lazar Markovic’s first Premier League goal earned
Liverpool a narrow but comfortable win over
strugglingSunderland.
The Serbia international, who was denied an early
penalty, opened his top-flight account to break the
deadlock in the eighth minute at the Stadium of Light
on Saturday with a determined off-the-ball run and
finish.
Markovic was at the centre of Liverpool’s best play
and also struck the woodwork with an acrobatic
effort, while ex-Sunderland loanee Fabio Borini was
wayward with his shot from a tight angle after
rounding Costel Pantilimon in a dominant first half
for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Liam Bridcutt was sent off early in the second period
to make Sunderland’s task even harder and, although
Adam Johnson struck the crossbar soon afterwards,
there was no way back for the home side.
Gus Poyet’s men now have just one win from their
last 11 top-flight matches, while Liverpool are
unbeaten in seven in all competitions.
Jordan Henderson and under-fire goalkeeper Simon
Mignolet lined up against their former club, as did
Borini, who took the place of the rested Raheem
Sterling.\
