Aston Villa v Liverpool - Kenny Dalglish on Luis Suarez's hearing | English Premier League
- 10 years ago
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish praised striker Luis Suarez for scoring the only goal against Queens Park Rangers.
Dalglish was delighted the Uruguayan was able to put some negative headlines behind him to score his first Premier League goal in more than two months with a second-half header.
"It was an excellent performance. We had a lot of chances," said Dalglish.
QPR boss Neil Warnock admitted: "They were the better side... but we showed great resolve."
Suarez has been in the news for all the wrong reasons recently, receiving a second Football Association misconduct charge this week for allegedly making an offensive gesture after Monday's defeat at Fulham.
The 24-year-old is also awaiting a date for a hearing into a racism-related charge which dates back to October.
But Dalglish preferred to focus on the positives.
"He scored with a header which doesn't happen very often and he played really well. It was well-deserved and well-taken."
Liverpool have struggled to find the net of late, and their inability to finish opponents off when on top has led some to question their chances this season.
Again, the Scot appeared unconcerned.
"It was an excellent performance," he said. "We had a lot of chances and we got one (goal), they never got any.
"One is enough when the others don't get an opportunity and the players showed great courage and belief in what they are doing to continue doing what they were doing well which was pass and move and creating chances.
