Liverpool kept its
Champions League qualification hopes alive as Christian Benteke scored a
winning goal for the second straight game on Wednesday against Sunderland.
The striker pounced on a
flicked pass from Adam Lallana to place a low finish into the bottom corner and
score the only goal of the match, just 22 seconds into the second half.
Benteke earned Liverpool
a 1-0 victory over Leicester on Saturday, too.
Liverpool climbed to
seventh in the standings, tied for points with Manchester United but behind its
great rival on goal difference, and five points off the top four with exactly
half the season gone.
Sunderland stayed next to
last with its fifth straight loss in December, and fell seven points from
safety.
