In such an important game of his career, Gerrard used his gods to perform outstandingly and became the absolute contributor to the team's victory in the city derby.
The game has one minute to end, but the fans on the scene have been impressed by Gerrard’s performance in this game. More than 40,000 fans in the audience shouted "Gerard" uniformly to this Liverpool player. Child, give the highest respect.
With Everton's kick-off, the referee did not give more stoppage time, and blew the whistle of the game ahead of time!

After the game, the Liverpool players only had a brief celebration banquet to celebrate Gerrard's performance today.
But everyone did not play too late in a tacit understanding, because three days later, Liverpool are going to the FA Cup quarter-finals again. Liverpool is on the rise. Every player cherishes the opportunity to play on the field. , I want to do my best for the team.
Even Maxi, who always likes to enjoy life off the court, is not drinking tonight. Everyone keeps in mind Dalglish’s strict requirements and looks forward to getting more chances to play for Liverpool at the end of this season. Finish off and contribute your own strength.
In the FA Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool faced Stoke, the city of the sky.
Fortunately, Liverpool is another home sign.
Although the Merseyside Derby was very expensive three days ago, with the lead in hard power and Yang Feng's superb performance in the backcourt, Liverpool, who played at home, still passed the risk 2-1!
In the last Premier League game, Gerrard relied on goals and attacked to win the game.
In this game, Liverpool, whose midfield defense was obviously not hard enough, took the lead in the attack and scored the goal with a long shot in the away game.
Liverpool, who could only attack with all their strength, entrusted the entire defense to Yang Feng.
Fortunately, Yang Feng played extremely well in this game. In the face of Stoke City’s many threatening counterattacks, Yang Feng acted calmly, using reasonable command and personal outstanding defensive response. Stoke's counterattack was resolved.
Relying on the strong performance of the back line, the Liverpool offensive players in the front field, filled with enough offensive manpower, carried out wave after wave of attacks.
Finally before the end of the first half, Tangning tied the score with a shot from the penalty area.
In the second half, Liverpool, as the score returned to the same starting line, can make attack choices more smoothly.
With Carol's head hammer, Liverpool won the final 2-1.
During the whole game, Yang Feng restricted the opponent's speed player Fuller when defending the opponent's counterattack. In the set-piece defense, Yang Feng successfully defended the opponent's high center forward Waters.
In addition to the long-range goal in the opening, Stoke City created multiple offensive threats in the subsequent counterattack, but in actual effect, the formation of a threatening shot was extremely limited.
In the best player appraisal after the game, Yang Feng, who made many key interceptions and competed for a 100% header success rate, became the well-deserved biggest contributor to Liverpool's victory.
After all, if it weren't for Yang Feng's outstanding performance, he might not have waited for Tangning's goal before halftime, and Liverpool would have been behind by two goals, or even three goals, in multiple counterattacks.
Liverpool, who successfully reached the FA Cup semi-finals, brought six consecutive victories in all competitions to the away game and challenged the Queen's Park Rangers in the evening of the 29th round of the week!
QPR is the third from the bottom, only one point away from leaving the relegation zone, but no matter who the opponent is, using the home court advantage, QPR will attack as soon as it comes up!
With the sprint stage of the last ten rounds of the Premier League, the championship team is not easy to provoke, the fourth team is not easy to provoke, and the relegation team is also not easy to provoke.
This is exactly the highlight of the Premier League, with surprises and surprises everywhere.
Although the strengths are distinct, the weak teams are not without the ability to fight back.
Because of the restraint of the two domestic cups, Liverpool, which has played double matches for a week, showed some obvious lack of energy in this game.
Don't wear Lu Jin at the end of the crossbow!
Faced with the home team players who have plenty of time to work hard to prepare, the Liverpool players are at an absolute disadvantage in the running distance in today's game.
The team's entire defense in the middle was moved by the opponent, and it was broken!
Even if Yang Feng relied on his personal ability to complete several successful personal defenses, he still could not complete all the defenses in the face of huge loopholes caused by front teammates.
In the 27th minute of the game, relying on the strong impact from the side, QPR formed an offensive suppression on the left.
Martin Kelly, who started the game, made a fatal error facing the impact of his opponent's left winger Tarbert.
Martin Kelly, who was shaken off by Tarbert's center of gravity, gave up his defensive position, and Tarbert took advantage of the situation to complete the inside cut.
After that, before Yang Feng's supplementary defense was in place, Tarbert made a direct shot, leaving Reina at the front point with no chance to save.
QPR achieved a 1-0 lead at home.
Amidst the cheering of the fans, the home team players became more relaxed as they played and played more freely.
On the contrary, Liverpool players, affected by their physical fitness, made many mistakes in the first half of the game, causing many unnecessary mistakes and losing the ball, and the opponents had the opportunity to directly counterattack.
With the opponent's quick counterattack after a steal, in the case of 3 on 3, facing Yang Feng's defense, the opposing midfielder decisively chose to pass instead of giving Yang Feng a chance to rush to complete the defense.
As Yang Feng's personal strength has been recognized by all Premier League teams, this kind of operation of first using the holding point to actively find Yang Feng and then passing the ball out in a counter attack is recognized by most teams.
With a through ball from the middle, the home team forward Seth got rid of Skrtel with speed. After getting this pass on the right side of the penalty area, he volleyed and hit the goal directly, expanding the score advantage for QPR. 2 balls.
In the second half of the game~lightnovelpub.net~ Although Dalglish wanted to rely on substitutions to restore the offensive state of the team, the offensive players of the entire team were not in a state of one or two, but almost everyone had or More or less problems exist.
In the second half of the game, although Liverpool's offense has changed, it is still far from the offensive performance of the previous games.
Although in 76 minutes, Spearing scored a goal from the bench, allowing Liverpool players to see the hope of equalizing the score.
But then, taking advantage of Liverpool's mad attack, the back defense was empty, Liverpool's defense was once again pushed by the opponent, directly from the second half of the ball, and directly penetrated.
In the defense, Yang Feng is good at defending the opponent's long pass when counterattack, but in this game, although the speed of advancing on the ground is not as fast as the long pass, the home team QPR went directly to the ground due to the loopholes in Liverpool's central defense. Counterattack, but not much defensive interference.
On the contrary, it can limit Yang Feng's defensive advantage.
Just like this time, as the ground counterattack progressed, Yang Feng could only effectively defend one person. After Yang Feng's defense passed in advance according to the tactics, Yang Feng's defensive role was completely weakened.
With Seth scored twice in this game, the score on the field changed to 3 to 1, and the home team still had a two-goal lead.
With time running out, Liverpool's players have no physical strength to support the final counterattack.
3 to 1, after Yang Feng's comeback, Liverpool lost for the first time in a match against underdogs, contributing a valuable relegation three-pointer to QPR.
The suspension of six consecutive victories in all competitions also made Liverpool's fourth lead in the standings further eroded. The final ten rounds of the Premier League are still full of variables.
