Brendan Rodgers expects more of the same from Liverpool match-winner Daniel Sturridge
LIVERPOOL boss Brendan Rodgers expects striker Daniel Sturridge to maintain his brilliant early form for the club.
The England striker was one of the Reds key performers last season, scoring 25 goals to guide the club to second in the Premier League standings.
And the 24-year-old has continued his form onto this season after claiming the winner in yesterday's 2-1 victory over Southampton.
It was Sturridge's 36th goal in 50 appearances for the club and only George Allan, with 41 in the late 19th century, scored more in that period.
He always looks like he will score
"For Daniel, it was just a continuation, showing he can get goals," said Rodgers.
"That is 36 goals in 50 appearances which is almost the best of any striker in Liverpool's history. That shows the level he is at.
"He always looks like he will score. It was a poacher's goal, one of those where you anticipate a knockdown."
