Sturridge wins Standard Chartered Player of the Month award

The striker made four appearances, two of which were starts, throughout the month and scored three times to top the fan poll ahead of second-placed Virgil van Dijk and James Milner in third.

Sturridge’s well-taken header set his team on their way to a thrilling 3-2 Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, before he struck twice in a week against Chelsea.

His first goal versus Maurizio Sarri’s side ended up being in vain as Liverpool were knocked out of the Carabao Cup, but his second will live long in the memory: a late, long-range effort that secured a Premier League point for the Reds at Stamford Bridge.
