Easy peasy: Liverpool celebrate Guy Demel's own goal

Liverpool recorded their second home victory of the week with a commanding win over West Ham on Saturday.
Fresh from a four-goal show against Norwich, Luis Suarez scored a second-half brace as the Reds enjoyed a straightforward success at Anfield.
The hosts went ahead in fortuitous style. Suarez's shot was saved by Jussi Jaaskelainen but the ball cannoned off unfortunate West Ham defender Guy Demel and in.
The lead was doubled just after the break, Sakho meeting Steven Gerrard's free-kick with an effort that beat Jaaskelainen. James Collins attempted to clear the ball off the line but succeeded only in finding the roof of the net.
The floodgates could have opened but West Ham reduced the arrears through another own goal. Martin Skrtel was the unlucky party on this occasion, diverting Matt Jarvis's cross past Simon Mignolet.
Modibo Maiga then had the chance to restore parity minutes later, but contrived to miss from close range.
The Hammers would live to rue their profligacy, Suarez scoring either side of a red card for Kevin Nolan to make it six goals for him - and six points for Liverpool - this week.
