Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate the Reds’ 2-0 victory over Hull City to kick-start 2014 with a win.
Video: Watch Daniel Agger and Luis Suarez sink Hull City
Video: Brendan Rodgers’ side went into the game at Anfield off the back of consecutive defeats at Manchester City and Chelsea at the back end of December.
A first half header from Daniel Agger and superb free-kick from Luis Suarez early in the second sunk Steve Bruce’s men.
The result lifts Liverpool back up to fourth in the Premier League, with Everton only managing a draw at Stoke City.
Elsewhere, there were victories for Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal.
The game also saw the return of Steven Gerrard from injury, who replaced an uninspiring Iago Aspas in the second half, whilst Kolo Toure looked exciting as a second-half replacement for Glen Johnson at right-back.
It was Liverpool’s first 2-0 victory under Brendan Rodgers, as attentions turn to Sunday’s FA Cup third round meeting against Oldham Athletic at Anfield.
We’ve rounded up a selection of reaction tweets from fans below. Let us know your thoughts on the result in the comments, or on Twitter @thisisanfield.

Obviously #LFC weren't at their best but they did enough to fully deserve the win today. After the 2nd goal BR shut up the game nicely too.

With the recent defeats and injury crisis that's a BIG 3 points for #LFC to start 2014. Clean sheet nice too :)

Thank you, Assaidi. The #LFC loanee scoring today for Stoke against Everton. Could be an important goal for #LFC. pic.twitter.com/pOZ0EyERAX

180 minutes of football against Hull, 0 open play goals. Would not have predicted that a month ago.

Well it wasn't a classic but my 100% Anfield win record stays in tact. If only i could afford more than 3-4 games a season!

#LFC have already won the same amount of games at home this season (P10 W9 D0 L1) than they did last season (P19 W9 D6 L4).

Hull were shocking today. Glad we took advantage and got the crucial 3 points. Oldham in the FA Cup next….time to rest players?

Aspas, was, well, basically awful. I can see him being moved on in the summer. I'm not sure Aspas or Kelly will be here next year either.
