The England international, making his first appearance since November 19, was a late introduction off the bench and it was his crossfield run and shot against a post which presented Sadio Mane with a tap in.
Sturridge has been sidelined with a calf injury, but having been included in the match-day squad for the first time he proved his match-winning capabilities again with the incisiveness which had been so lacking for long periods.
It ensured Liverpool closed the gap to Premier League leaders Chelsea back to six points and also extended Everton's woeful run in this encounter to just one win in the last 20 league meetings.
So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery above for our player ratings.
