Lazar Markovic bagged his first Premier League goal as Liverpool claimed a deserved 1-0 victory over 10-man Sunderland.
The Serbian international netted from close range on nine minutes when Fabio Borini’s through pass deflected into his path as the Reds recorded their sixth win in nine visits to the Stadium of Light.
Liverpool completely dominated the first half, with Markovic denied a penalty in the early exchanges, but they wasted a plethora of chances that would have put the game beyond their hosts.
Sunderland were booed off at half time after failing to muster a shot on goal and they were reduced to 10 men on 49 minutes when Liam Bridcutt picked up a second yellow card.
The sending off spurred Sunderland momentarily, with Adam Johnson crashing a shot off the crossbar, but that was as good as it got as their dismal home form continued.
