Had Sturridge shelved his famous celebration? After the hour mark, such fears were allayed after the England international doubled Liverpool's lead... https://twitter.com/AnfieldRoadLFC/status/791008216666742785 https://twitter.com/Iggy_Furtado/status/791008872207187969 https://twitter.com/KalashnikLove/status/791008892650160128 Thank God for that.
