When Steven Gerrard earned a last-ditch win for Liverpool legends

Throughout his exceptional professional career, Steven Gerrard has guided Liverpool to glory multiple times with his heroics. He turned back the clock in 2019 when the Reds legends took on AC Milan legends.

The Merseysiders drew first blood through the legendary Robbie Keane. Djibril Cisse doubled the team's advantage. Milan, though, showed quality in their ranks by managing to level proceedings, courtesy of goals from Andrea Pirlo and Giuseppe Pancaro.

Gerrard had the last laugh yet again as he scored a late winner. After playing a give-and-go with Cisse, Gerrard twisted and turned to make space for himself before threading his shot that went in off the post.

While looking back at the goal, Gerrard recently said (via the Reds' official website):

“It’s always a special time to come to Anfield, especially when it’s full, and just put the kit on, To play against Milan with all my ex-teammates, and to get the winner, is obviously a special feeling.”

Fans will hope to see the former No.8 turn back the clock when he graces the pitch yet again this weekend.
