Gerrard relief after Reds scrape win

Captain Steven Gerrard insists Liverpool’s new-look side must learn to crawl before they can walk after scraping past Bulgarian minnows Ludogorets in their Champions League opener.

The former England midfielder scored an added-time penalty after Mario Balotelli’s first goal for the club in the 82nd minute was cancelled out by substitute Dani Abalo eight minutes later.
