Gerrard makes triumphant return for Reds

Premier League

The sight of Steven Gerrard running towards them, arms stretched with a beaming grin is one Liverpool supporters may resign themselves to largely being a thing of the past. But his goal to help turn things around on his return to the side may just be the catalyst to greater things.

Dropped or rested, depending on the viewpoint on Saturday, the Merseysiders’ captain once again found that little piece from within to seize this game by the scruff of the neck, reacting quickest to a loose ball. Liverpool, in trouble in the first half with a Simon Mignolet own goal putting Leicester ahead although Adam Lallana soon levelled, never looked back after Gerrard’s strike.
