'Red-hot' Luis Suarez stars in facile Liverpool win against Hull

Luis Suarez's superb free kick has helped Liverpool bounce back from consecutive away defeats with a comfortable victory over Hull City at Anfield.

The Merseyside outfit had slipped to fifth in the table with losses at title rivals Manchester City and Chelsea, but returned to winning ways by avenging the 3-1 loss to Steve Bruce's men in the reverse fixture last month, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Liverpool created the better openings of the first half and moved ahead on 36 minutes when Philippe Coutinho's corner was met by the head of stand-in captain Daniel Agger.
