HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Suarez, Andy Carroll and Gerrard and
the combination worked well with
Gerrard striking in the 34th, 51st and
90th minute.
His opener came after Everton
goalkeeper Tim Howard blocked a shot
from the overlapping Martin Kelly and
the right-back’s eforts to win back
possession saw the ball run to Gerrard,
who demonstrated superb technique to
loat a left-footed shot over Howard.
He struck again when Suarez eluded
Sylvain Distin on the right but before he
could let ly Gerrard stepped in to crash
in a drive. He claimed the matchball inthe closing seconds to the delight of the
Kop with a simple inish from another
Suarez assist.
Summarising Gerrard’s performance
afterwards, Dalglish said: “I am not
educated enough to add to whatever
anyone else has said about Steven. He’s
been fantastic for this football club. I left
school at 15, my vocabulary is not that
great. There is no way I could extol the
virtues of Steven Gerrard and do him
justice.
“Three goals tonight was fantastic
reward for him, and the other three local
lads we had didn’t do too badly either.”Jerzy Dudek 47
