Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge named Barclays Player of the Month for second time this season

Liverpool's in-form striker Daniel Sturridge has won the Player of the Month accolade for February after a prolific run of games for the Reds.

The 24 year-old forward, who won the August award earlier in the campaign, scored five goals and registered two assists in the Barclays Premier League during the month to help the Reds register three wins from four matches, including a 5-1 victory against Arsenal.

It came as Sturridge hailed his partnership with Luis Suarez at Liverpool. The pair have scored 42 league goals between them this season.

Sturridge said: "When we go out onto the football field we like to express ourselves and I think we both give each other opportunities.

"We've assisted each other three times this season and we like to help each other play as well as we possibly can. We get on very well off the field and it's important that as a unit - not just us two - that we work hard together."
