Steven Gerrard Best Goals
The story was always going to be about Steven Gerrard this evening as he played his first game for Liverpool since announcing his decision to leave the club at the end of the season – and the former England man was the best player on the pitch as the Reds beat AFC Wimbledon, with Gerrard scoring twice – including from a sublime free kick.
These were the best reactions on Twitter:
If Gerrard was one of the new signings at 24 we’d be raving about him, but we judge him at 34 against himself at his peak.

Say what you like about pro-Gerrard tweeters, but deary me, the state of the anti-Gerrard tweeters on here. Have you ever been to a game?

And in future It will always be known as the ‘Gerrard 3rd round scrappy win’.

I hope Akinfenwa just said to Gerrard: “At least you got to play with me before you leave Liverpool.” Gerrard did laugh, whatever it was.
