The England international scored his first goals since returning from injury after James Milner's early strike, with Rudy Gestede netting two of his own for the visitors
Liverpool eased the pressure on manager Brendan Rodgers as Daniel Sturridge scored twice in an action-packed 3-2 win over Aston Villa at Anfield.
The Northern Irishman has seen his position come under scrutiny after a difficult start to the season and Liverpool continued to show defensive frailties as Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho inspired a first Premier League win in five outings.
Danny Ings was given the nod alongside Sturridge in the absence of injured striker Christian Benteke, but it was another former Villa man in James Milner who gave Rodgers the perfect start when he opened the scoring with his first competitive Liverpool goal 66 seconds in.
