Twitter Reacts as Christian Benteke Clinches Liverpool Win over Sunderland

Liverpool moved up to seventh in the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday.

The game provided a rare outing for former Manchester United defender Wes Brown, who was drafted into a struggling Sunderland defence:

Ah Wes Brown. The only Champions League winner from the 20th century still playing.

The highly rated Duncan Watmore, who immediately impressed the home support, soon joined him on the pitch:
