On this day: Suarez stunner seals win at Sunderland
The No.7 somehow squeezed home an outside-of-the-boot finish from a seemingly impossible angle late on at the Stadium of Light, where Dirk Kuyt had earlier converted a penalty past future Reds goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.
The ‘baby-rocking’ celebration that followed Suarez’s moment of inspiration was in honour of Lucas Leiva’s newborn son, who had arrived 24 hours earlier.
As well as Mignolet, current Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson also started for Sunderland that afternoon.
Two victorious Merseyside derbies have taken place at Anfield on March 20.
