Sturridge Returns

Sturridge
United's old rivals Liverpool continue to struggle, having seen their run of league games without victory extended to four following a 1-1 draw at home to Norwich City.

Daniel Sturridge made his first appearance since April after hip surgery and his side went ahead in the 48th minute when Danny Ings, a halftime replacement for Christian Benteke, drilled home his first Liverpool goal.

Norwich equalised 13 minutes later courtesy of a deft lob by centre-back Russell Martin - his third goal of the campaign.

The result left Brendan Rodgers's Liverpool in 13th place, seven points below City, but a point above defending champions Chelsea, who beat Arsenal 2-0 on Saturday in a game that saw Gabriel and Santi Cazorla sent off for Arsene Wenger's side.

Son has now scored three goals in two games, after his debut brace against Qarabag of Azerbaijan in the Europa League, and Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino hailed his impact following his move from Bayer Leverkusen.

"He has adapted to the team very well. After scoring twice in the Europa League he scored again and when you arrive at the club as a striker, that's very good." It was Spurs' first home win of the campaign and lifted Pochettino's side to ninth place in the table, below Alan Pardew's Palace on goals scored.
