Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has lauded his teammate Luis Suarez for the way that he has performed for the club since arriving from Ajax in January 2011.

The Uruguayan frontman is the club's leading goalscorer this season and added two more to his tally during today's 3-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road this afternoon.

Speaking after that match, Gerrard described the centre-forward as a "magician".

"He's been brilliant for us since he came to the club," Gerrard told Sky Sports News. "Week in, week out he shows what a top player he is.

"These players only have to see him twice a year but we have to train with him every day! He's a magician."

Suarez has now scored 16 goals in all competitions so far this campaign.
