The goal was Gerrard’s ninth of the 2014-15 Premier League season, confirming his place as Liverpool’s top goal scorer this term. The strike also was the 120th of his career in England’s top flight.

Gerrard will depart for the Los Angeles Galaxy this summer holding a lofty position in the ranks of Liverpool’s all-team leading goal scorers.
