Danny Sturridge was delighted with his impact made in Liverpool's 2-2 draw against Chelsea.

Sturridge resembled a force of nature after being introduced for Philippe Coutinho, smashing a powerful long drive against a post before finding the net within seven minutes of entering the action.

"I was disappointed not to start because the manager would have known I was a bit angry with Chelsea and wanted to prove a point against them," the striker told liverpoolf.com.

"It was strange playing against them because I only left three months ago so I kind of knew their weaknesses and what their team was all about.

"I was itching to get on and the team performed well in the second half. We started attacking a lot more; in the first half we were a little bit defensive.

"The game opened up and we showed what we're all about - it was good."
