Sturridge thrilled with goalscoring Liverpool return

Daniel Sturridge was delighted with his goalscoring comeback for Liverpool in victory over West Ham United.

After five months out due to injuries, the striker made his long-awaited comeback as a second-half substitute for Lazar Markovic - and typically, he required only 12 minutes to make his mark.

"It was a great feeling to help my teammates get three points," the 25-year-old told Liverpoolfc.com. "That's the most important thing - to just be out there and helping the team win games.

"It was great play by Coutinho. We have a great relationship - he knows my runs and I know the types of passes his likes to play as well. He makes my job easier.

"Once I seen him cut inside, I knew the ball would come and it was just a case of getting it under control and hitting the target."
