Daniel Sturridge "gutted" by Liverpool defeat to Swansea City

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has said that he is "absolutely gutted" by his side's 3-1 defeat at the hands of Swansea City this afternoon.

A brace from Andre Ayew either side of a Jack Cork strike was enough for the hosts to pick up a win that guarantees their Premier League survival, with Liverpool only mustering up a Christian Benteke header in reply.

Sturridge notably headed straight down the tunnel at the final whistle without acknowledging the away fans, but the striker took to Twitter after the game to thank the support.

Absolutely gutted. Thanks to the fans for travelling and supporting us. God willing Thursday will be a better result. 👊🏾
