Often this match is fondly called by the Liverpool fans as the ‘Gerrard 3-1 Napoli’ match.

Christian Poulsen (the worst Liverpool player by a mile) directed his header towards Edison Cavani, who laid it on for Lavezzi to score, giving Napoli the lead. Then followed a flurry of Napoli attacks, as Liverpool struggled to find any tempo. In desperation, Roy Hodgson brought on Gerrard at half-time. The next 45 minutes belonged solely to Gerrard, as he engineered a remarkable comeback, scoring a hat-trick and propelling his team to the top of the table. This wonderful display, only served to enhance his reputation as one of the most influential players in modern footballing history.
