Daniel Sturridge "grateful" to reach landmark

Daniel Sturridge has revealed his delight after reaching 100 club career goals in Liverpool's 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon.

The England international scored his team's first of the match, before Roberto Firmino and Georginio Wijnaldum netted to ensure that the Reds would return to winning ways in the Premier League.

Sturridge has said that he is "grateful to God" for being allowed to reach the 100 mark, and the 28-year-old has vowed to continue finding the back of the net.

"I'm grateful to God for blessing me and allowing me to reach that amount of goals," Sturridge told Liverpool's official website.

"Hopefully there will be a lot more to come - there could've been a lot more but you can never look at the past, you look to the future and say hopefully I'll be able to score another 100 before my career is over."

Sturridge, who has struggled to overcome a number of injury problems in recent seasons, has scored 70 of his 100 goals in a Liverpool shirt.
