Liverpool ended a run of successive defeats and got their quest for a top-four finish back on track with a comfortable victory over Hull.

Daniel Agger nodded in a Philippe Coutinho corner to set the hosts up for a seventh straight home win.

It was all Liverpool as Jordan Henderson and Coutinho went close before Luis Suarez doubled the advantage with an exquisite free-kick.

Hull created little, but did well to prevent the hosts from scoring a third.
