Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers heaps praise upon Luis Suarez after the striker scored a hat-trick against Wigan today.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has labelled striker Luis Suarez "world class" after the Uruguayan scored three goals in his side's 4-0 win over Wigan Athletic today.

Suarez became the league's top scorer with the hat-trick, overtaking Manchester United's Robin van Persie in the scoring charts.

"We were brilliant today, it was a wonderful performance. The work-rate, intensity and goals were first class," said Rodgers.

"[Suarez is] a pleasure to work with. His hunger, humility, work-rate & quality of finishing. It all makes him world class."

The result lifts Liverpool up to seventh in the Premier League table, three points behind city rivals Everton.
