Daniel Sturridge Named Barclays Premier League Player of the Month
The
former Manchester City and Chelsea striker has
came of age and has been in scintillating goalscoring form. So much so
that Sturridge is now creeping up to Luis Suarez's goal tally for the
season.
Sturridge started off the month of February by
netting the only goal for the Reds at the Hawthorns.
Sturridge
continued his fine form by putting Arsenal to the sword during the
Reds' famous 5-1 demolition at Anfield. A constant threat throughout the
game, his goal gave the Reds a comfortable 4-0 in the first-half lead.
Sturridge
carried on his form in the vital away clash against Fulham. With the
Reds 1-0 down, Sturridge equalised after a fantastic through ball from
Steven Gerrard. Sturridge went on to play an even bigger part than his
first strike - assisting Coutinho for the midfielder's equalising goal
and then winning the decisive penalty for Steven Gerrard to tuck away.
February
was wrapped up in style by Sturridge as he was his usual brilliant self
against Swansea. Exciting and electric throughout, the former Chelsea
man opened the scoring after three minutes against the Swans. In-turn
he became only the second player in Premier League history to score in
eight successive games, Ruud van Nistelrooy being the other.
He
then assisted Jordan Henderson for Liverpool's second goal, after some
fine individual play down the flank. Sturridge popped up with another goal as he headed
home a Luis Suarez cross.
