Luis Suarez credited with 15th league goal

London: Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was credited with his 15th Premier League goal of the season on Wednesday following a review of his side`s 4-1 win over West Ham United.

The Uruguay international played a key role in Liverpool`s fourth goal in last weekend`s game at Anfield with a long-range strike that took a deflection off West Ham defender Joey O`Brien and was recorded as an own goal. However, the Premier League`s dubious goals panel has now ruled that the goal should be credited to Suarez, who also scored earlier in the match. It means that Suarez`s lead at the top of the scoring chart has increased to three goals, with nearest rival Sergio Aguero of Manchester City having found the net 12 times this term. Suarez`s achievement is rendered all the more remarkable by the fact that he missed the first five games of the campaign as he completed a suspension for biting Chelsea`s Branislav Ivanovic during a game last season.
