That's the whistle! A fine win for Stoke, who take Liverpool's place in eighth.

Johnson gets forward before cutting inside but his angled cross is poor.

A weak effort well wide by Suarez is greeted by jeers from Stoke fans.

Four minutes added time being played.

Liverpool's hopes of snatching a draw here are over - Stoke are parking the bus.

Cole flicks a header to Suarez on the right, he clips a fine low ball across the box but there's no-one there! Great cross Suarez!

This would suit a lefty, with Agger over it. Suarez and Henderson too, but can't see the latter having a go... Suarez hits the wall. A waste.

Whelan trips Suarez on the edge of the box after a mazy run. Free-kick, booking.

STOKE SUB: Shotton on for Etherington.

Shelvey could have got in trouble there as he lost it a bit when confronted with Begovic and Huth, who stayed calm, as did Webb.

Suarez's delivery is too high for Agger, now Gerrard tries a shot but it's blocked. Enrique lofts a high ball in but the flag is up as Begovic claims anyway.

Down the other end Shelvey releases Suarez on the right, with Shawcros conceding the corner.

Stoke counter now as Etherington finds space wide left but his low cross is behind Crouch and Liverpool clear.

Suarez's first touch takes him wide when he had a chance to get a shot on target. Poor. Apart from winning the penalty he has not had his best game.

STOKE SUB: After his best shift in years, Jones comes off to a standing ovation, with Crouch - an ex-Red of course - replacing him.

LIVERPOOL SUB: Joe Cole comes on for Downing.

Begovic is forced to rush out of his box to head a long ball to touch, lest Suarez get in.

Stoke could be in on the counter but Skrtel flies in with a slide tackle on Etherington. Throw.

Liverpool counter as Shelvey pops up wide left. Inside to Johnson, who cuts in but decides to softly pass for Suarez and not shoot, but it lands behind the striker.
