Steven Gerrard once again sees Liverpool through to last 16

November 26, 2008

Liverpool’s most influential player, captain Steve Gerrard, returned from injury (and after missing his side’s 0-0 home draw with Fulham) to put his side into the last sixteen of the Champion’s League tonight.

It was a typical Gerrard performance as he pulled side up by the bootstraps from an otherwise poor team display, scoring with a header in the first half. Alonso crossed the ball for Gerrard to powerfully head home at the back stick on twenty-three minutes.

Liverpool were well below par and Marseille dominated the game for long spells. The Liverpool keeper was busy in the first half, making a brace of saves to keep Liverpool in the hunt.

In the other game in the group, Atletico Madrid defeated PSV Eindhoven to also go through with Liverpool. The reds now play PSV away with a chance of topping the group, which would be vital in order to avoid teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and possibly Inter Milan.
