The goals from Sturridge just kept coming at a consistent rate, and along with midfield boost of Coutinho, he added a huge role in Reds side that finished 2012/13 season in style, losing just once in their final 12 Premier League games.
Early signs of an extraordinary and lethal partnership with Luis Suarez were also showing, and the following season of 2014/15, both of them came close to inspiring the Reds to the Premier League title. Suarez deservedly gets the main applause for that incredible campaign, but one cannot deny Sturridge’s contribution, which included 24 goals.
