Brendan Rodgers "mightily impressed" with Daniel Sturridge

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he is "mightily impressed" with Daniel Sturridge's performance against Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday.

The England international striker scored a hat-trick as the Reds came from a goal down to win 3-1 at Craven Cottage.

"We were very exciting," BBC Sport quotes Rodgers as saying. "Going forward we were really creative. We scored three and could have had more.

"It was a terrific second-half performance. I've been mightily impressed [by Daniel Sturridge]. He is a young player who has got all the attributes to be a top European forward."

Liverpool are currently seventh in the league table with 58 points from 37 matches.
