Liverpool ease past Hull City

Goals from Daniel Agger and Luis Suarez seal the points as Liverpool beat Hull City 2-0 at Anfield.

Liverpool have notched up their seventh consecutive home win with a 2-0 victory against Hull City at Anfield.

Goals from Daniel Agger and Luis Suarez either side of half time were enough to see off the threat from the visitors.

Suarez had a goal chalked off for offside after he headed home from Philippe Coutinho's delivery on 19 minutes.

Coutinho then wasted another good chance to deliver minutes later when he fired tamely at Allan McGregor in the Hull goal.

The Brazilian once more flashed a shot over the bar after the ball broke to him on the edge of box following Alex Bruce's firm challenge on Suarez.

Raheem Sterling should have scored after he raced away inside the area, but his shot was directly at McGregor on 25 minutes.

Agger rose highest from a Lucas Leiva corner to power a header home nine minutes before the break, before Jordan Henderson side-footed wide towards the end of the half.

Suarez was on the receiving end again after the restart, but the forward picked himself up to curl a free kick home five minutes into the second half.

Steven Gerrard returned for the Reds as a substitute, but it wasn't all good news on the injury front, as Glen Johnson was forced to withdraw for Kolo Toure in the second half.

Coutinho went close on 70 minutes when he slammed a shot narrowly over after Gerrard had teed him up from 25 yards.

The playmaker was denied once more at the death when his mazy run left him one-on-one with McGregor, but the keeper was equal to the effort.
