Daniel Sturridge scored his first ever hat-trick to inspire Liverpool to a 3-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was full of praise for Sturridge after his hat-trick heroics. "He's scored goals from the minute he has come in and that is 11 goals in 15 games which is a fantastic impact which we hoped he would make," noted Rodgers. Martin Jol had few complaints with the application of his players despite the defeat. He told Sky Sports: "If you look at the effort we've put in against Chelsea, Arsenal and even today, there's nothing wrong with the effort or application or mentality, but when we've needed to change the game to score, we've looked a bit vulnerable."
