Pic: Did you see the brilliant Luis Suarez banner in the crowd at Anfield last night?

Luis Suarez has been feted loudly and often by Liverpool fans this season, but he was the subject of something of an unusual tribute in Anfield last night.

Luis Suarez has been feted loudly and often by Liverpool fans this season, but he was the subject of something of an unusual tribute in Anfield last night.

Suarez maintained what has been an unbelievable run of form this season during Liverpool’s 4-0 drubbing of city rivals Everton last night, setting up Steven Gerrard for the opening goal before slotting home Liverpool’s fourth goal in the second half.

While his name was sung loudly from the stands, one group of home fans paid tribute to his peerless ability to make fools out of defenders by knocking it through their legs with one of the most unusual, if inspired, banners you’ll ever see at a football match.

We’re not sure if Luis’ grasp of the English language is good enough to understand the exact meaning of the message, but we’re sure he appreciated the sentiment nonetheless.
