Match Report: Suarez ends Liverpool hoodoo

Luis Suarez was on target as Liverpool claimed their first win on Arsenal soil in more than 10 years.

LONDON, ENGLAND - Saturday, August 20, 2011: Liverpool's Luis Alberto Suarez Diaz celebrates scoring the second goal against Arsenal with team-mate Raul Meireles during the Premiership match at the Emirates Stadium. (Pic by David Rawcliffe/Propaganda) The 24-year-old came off the bench to make it 2-0 following an unfortunate Aaron Ramsey own goal.

All this after a second-half dismissal for Emmanuel Frimpong for a horrible tackle on Lucas Leiva.

The result sends Liverpool joint top of the league ahead of the remaining weekend programme and brings an end to a 14-game sequence without a win at either Highbury or the Emirates since Titi Camara fired a winner in February 2000.

Kenny Dalglish surprised a few by naming Copa America winner Suarez on the bench for the lunch-time kick-off. Dirk Kuyt took the Uruguayan's place while Jon Flanagan made way for Martin Kelly at right-back.

The Emirates patrons were in downbeat mood as they mingled on the concourse prior to kick-off, the blow of seeing their skipper leave for Barcelona compounded today by a clutch of injuries and suspensions.

Cesc Fabregas may have been watching from 700 miles away but one man who did start was Samir Nasri despite speculation about an imminent move to the Etihad Stadium.
