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.
