Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has defended Luis Suarez after his glaring miss late on in defeat at Stoke City.

Liverpool could have salvaged a point deep into injury time when Suarez steered a chance just wide of the goal.

"You think it's an easy chance but it's not when you see it on television," reflected Dalglish.

"The goalkeeper has got a good angle on it and it was a difficult chance to take. On another day one of our chances would have gone in."
