It was important to show my support for Muamba - Liverpool's Suarez

Liverpool star Luis Suarez has dedicated yesterday's FA Cup goal to stricken Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba.

The Uruguayan ace opened the scoring for the Reds as they booked a spot in the FA Cup semi-final with a 2-1 home win over Stoke City and he revealed that he was keen to show support for 23-year old Muamba who collaped under cardiac arrest at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

"It's a very difficult moment," he told liverpoolfc.tv.

"I think it is very important that we show our support, whether it be a message, or any kind of dedication, so that both he and his family know that not just me but the whole of football both here in England and throughout the world are right behind him and hoping that he will recover from his current situation."
