Dirk Kuyt scored the contentious spot-kick in the 34th minute changing the game after the Reds had begun the game slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Carragher told Sky Sports: \u201cI thought it was a penalty but then I found out at half-time, I don\u2019t think it was, was it? It was just outside. That\u2019s gone for us there, so we have to take that today, as they say it evens itself out. I\u2019m sure Sunderland will be disappointed with that but it went our way there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone knows that goals change games, I mean up to that point it was pretty even Sunderland were creating and were putting a little bit of pressure on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a pretty even game, every week we can look at different incidents and we can always say it changes the game, maybe I think that one has gone our way but thankfully we got the other one to make sure so you could say we still would have won 1-0.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The veteran defender also praised the scorer of Liverpool\u2019s second, Luis Suarez, who has settled into Kenny Dalglish\u2019s side well after joining in January from Ajax for \u00a323 million. He also admitted the Uruguayan\u2019s presence was missed in their Europa League clash with Braga last Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Carragher added: \u201cHe\u2019s a top player and he\u2019s given everybody a lift. It was obviously disappointing to lose a player like Fernando but he\u2019s gone to Chelsea now so we have to look at the players who\u2019ve come in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought Andy Carroll was very unlucky not to score, I\u2019d probably have preferred him to score as he needed to get off the mark, he (Suarez) had already scored. He\u2019s a top player and I think we missed him in midweek in Europe, I think that showed but he\u2019s a made a difference today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/7ff4009899372_news.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/03\/20\/2403765\/jamie-carragher-admits-liverpool-were-fortunate-to-be\" title=\"Jamie Carragher admits Liverpool were fortunate to be awarded penalty in 2-0 win over Sunderland\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamie Carragher admits Liverpool were fortunate to be awarded penalty in 2-0 win over Sunderland<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Simon Sinclair 20 Mar 2011 17:30:00 Jamie Carragher, Liverpool (Getty Images) Related Links Teams Players Jamie Carragher has admitted that Liverpool were fortunate to be awarded a penalty at the Stadium of Light as Kenny Dalglish&#8217;s beat Sunderland 2-0. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-324595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
