Daniel Sturridge scored on his comeback from injury as Liverpool made it five wins in six Premier League games with victory over West Ham United.

Raheem Sterling struck for the eighth time this season after latching on to Philippe Coutinho’s clever pass.

Substitute Sturridge, out for five months, doubled the lead within 12 minutes of coming on with a low drive following another Coutinho assist.

West Ham rarely threatened, Andy Carroll going closest with a header.
