Liverpool 1-0 Reading

Liverpool picked up their first home
win of the season with a hard-fought
1-0 victory over Reading at Anfield.
Raheem Sterling's first goal for the
Reds proved to be enough to give
Brendan Rodgers' side the three
points.
Luis Suarez's delicate flick-on was
seized by the teenager who raced
through the inside-right channel and
fired a shot across Alex McCarthy and
into the far corner of the net.
The defeat means the Royals are still
looking for their first win since earning
promotion back to the Premier League.
Liverpool dominated the first half and
but for some poor finishing and some
good defending they would have been
out of sight in the opening period.
The visitors improved after the break
and Brad Jones, playing in place of the
injured Pepe Reina, was called into
action with a couple of good saves.
The Reds had opportunities to make
the game safe late on but Steven
Gerrard, Suarez and Glen Johnson all
failed to take advantage.
