Gerrard hails Liverpool success

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard hopes the team’s crushing 4-1 victory over Manchester United will not only spur the Merseysiders on as they play catch-up at the top of the Premier League, but will also prove to other teams that the leaders can be beaten.

Rafael Benitez’s side battled back from a goal down to defeat United in clinical fashion, Fernando Torres and Gerrard turning the match on its head before the break, with Fabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena easing Liverpool well clear before the end.
