    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool manager On Daniel Sturridge scoring after five months out injured

    "It was nice for him. He has obviously been out for a very long time and he has worked very hard. You can see that now it just about managing his game time and introduction into the team. But when he is in that area of the field, he has shown that over the last couple of years here that he is lethal really. He has a great first touch. And he has got great power off both sides. So a wonderful finish and I am delighted for him."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool manager On Sturridge

    "It's better him scoring than not scoring. Then everyone looks and wonders when he is going to get his first goal. (Off mic: 'His first goal in five months'). But he has come back into the fold. It's just managing that integration into the team and I know he is really excited about coming into this team to play.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Sam Allardyce, West Ham manager

    "I was going to great lengths to get (Cheikhou) Kouyate back from the African (Cup of) Nations. He then told us he was injured. Carl Jenkinson and (James) Tomkins didn't make it. Ginge (James Collins), (Winston) Reid and (Andy) Carroll get injured today so I am not surprised we lost."

    "Broke down on negotiations this morning apparently. I really don't know at this moment in time. It's not just that but there is so much going on at the club at the minute. Thank God the (transfer) window is shutting tomorrow (Monday).
