Suarez gets off to scoring start with Liverpool
Luis Suarez scored on his Liverpool debut in a 2-0 home win. The Uruguayan slotted home the Reds' second goal in front of the Kop to ensure Fernando Torres's £50m move to Chelsea was no longer the major talking point.
And if questions were being asked about how the Reds would cope in their former striker's absence then efforts by Suarez and Portugal midfielder Raul Meireles – with his third goal in four matches – provided a swift answer. Record 35m signing Andy Carroll's introduction to the crowd before kick-off was the closest he is likely to get to the pitch for a month as he recovers from a thigh injury.
