Steven Gerrard produced an inspiring display as the Liverpool Legends sealed a 4-3 win at home to their Real Madrid counterparts on Saturday.
Goals from Michael Owen, John Aldridge and Robbie Fowler set the Reds legends on their way to victory at Anfield, with Gerrard also slotting home in front of the Kop in the second half.
In a clash furnished with moments of genuine quality from the likes of Luis Figo, Clarence Seedorf and Daniel Agger, it was the former Liverpool captain who stood out.
As well as his excellent strike, Gerrard assisted each of Liverpool’s other three goals, proving his evergreen talent and hit the bar from 30 yards.
And the 36-year-old certainly sparked the imaginations of supporters on social media.
GERRARD!!! ?
[4-0]
