ST JAKOB-PARK, BASEL—Liverpool again attacked down the right. The ball was switched from Roberto Firmino to Philippe Coutinho and then to Daniel Sturridge. He was just inside the box, to the left of goal. He squared up the right-back Mariano Ferreira, who was perhaps slightly distracted by the forward surge of Alberto Moreno. Having created the space, Sturridge, with barely a waft of his left foot, arced a shot beyond the lunge of Adil Rami, round the outstretched hand of the diving goalkeeper David Soria, and just inside the post. Had it clipped the woodwork something of the aesthetic might have been lost, but it didn’t; it swooshed into the net and the purity was maintained.
Daniel Sturridge Can Have Bright Liverpool Future, but May Miss out for England
