Hernandez ruins Suarez’s Liverpool return

Manchester United striker
Javier Hernandez ruined Luis Suarez’s long-
awaited return from suspension as the
Mexican clinched a 1-0 win against Liverpool
in the League Cup third round on
Wednesday. Suarez was making his first appearance of
the season following the completion of his
10-match ban for biting Chelsea’s Branislav
Ivanovic in a Premier League clash last term. But the controversial Uruguayan’s presence
in the Liverpool starting line-up wasn’t
enough to galvanise his team to victory at
Old Trafford as Hernandez bagged the
winner for United less than two minutes
into the second half. David Moyes’s team were on course to
bounce back from Sunday’s painful 4-1
derby defeat at Manchester City, and also
avenge a 1-0 loss against Liverpool in the
league this season, when Wayne Rooney’s
corner picked out the unmarked Hernandez to volley home in the 46th minute. Suarez, who had angered Liverpool with his
failed attempt to engineer a move to
Arsenal during his suspension, hit the bar
with a free-kick in the closing stages and
also went close when his powerful strike
rippled the side-netting, but United held on to move into the fourth round.
