Thegoalmac can reveal that Lazar Markovic's first Premier League goal earned Liverpool a narrow but comfortable win over struggling Sunderland.
The
Serbia international, who was denied an early penalty, opened his
top-flight account to break the deadlock in the eighth minute at the
Stadium of Light on Saturday with a determined off-the-ball run and
finish.
Markovic was at the centre of Liverpool's best play and
also struck the woodwork with an acrobatic effort, while ex-Sunderland
loanee Fabio Borini was wayward with his shot from a tight angle after
rounding Costel Pantilimon in a dominant first half for Brendan Rodgers'
side.
Liam Bridcutt was sent off early in the second period to
make Sunderland's task even harder and, although Adam Johnson struck the
crossbar soon afterwards, there was no way back for the home side.
