Chelsea needed a penalty in stoppage time at home to salvage a 2-2 draw against West Bromich Albion.

Liverpool took the lead through an own goal by Fernando Amorebieta in the 23rd minute and Martin Skrtel added the second just three minutes later. Suarez then followed up his hat-trick in Liverpool's last home game by adding the third with a calm finish in the 36th and firing in the fourth inside the near post in the 54th.

The Uruguay striker now has eight goals in six league matches since returning from suspension.

The result moved Liverpool back into second place in the standings and heaped more pressure on Fulham manager Martin Jol, whose team has just 10 points from 11 games.
