Injuries and patchy form have rendered Sturridge to a bit part player at Liverpool these days. But with injuries to key players, Klopp trusted him more than Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Often a player who divides opinion, Sturridge was once again below par in the first half, but that wasn't entirely his fault. In trying to create something by coming deep, he lost the ball five times in the whole game, but you can't blame him for trying. His finishing is what he was in the team for and boy did he deliver on that front.

After Huddersfield failed to deal with a Moreno long pass, the ball inadvertently fell to Sturridge and he deftly beat Lossl to open the scoring.

The goal ended a run of five Premier League games without a goal and with a Champions League game against Maribor and a tie against West Ham next, Liverpool will be glad their striker is finally back in amongst the goals.
