LFCCTV: How Lucas helped Reds end run
Lucas Leiva summoned a performance that included all of his finest traits in helping Liverpool to end a winless streak by beating Stoke City on Saturday afternoon – take a closer look now with our LFCCTV feature.
The Brazilian was handed a second successive start by Brendan Rodgers and grasped the opportunity by providing a robust presence in the centre of the Reds' midfield in a gruelling battle with the Potters.
Aside from his defensive responsibilities, Lucas often supported those further forward too and perhaps should have added his name to the scoresheet before Glen Johnson's late header ultimately proved the difference.
