Gerrard: We deserved more

20 September 2010 08:30
Captain Steven Gerrard felt Liverpool deserved more from their 3-2 defeat at Manchester United after his two goals dragged them back into the game. Trailing to Dimitar Berbatov's header just before half-time and a brilliant overhead kick 14 minutes after the interval the England midfielder looked to have salvaged a point with a little help from Fernando Torres. The Spain international was brought down by Jonny Evans in the penalty area and was then pulled back by John O'Shea to present Gerrard with a 20-yard free-kick which he curled through the wall for his second goal in a six-minute spell. However, Berbatov had the final say when he rose to head home his hat-trick in the 84th minute. "I think when you recover a two-goal deficit at Old Trafford you feel really good and you fancy yourself to hang on in there and get a fantastic point," said Gerrard. "But Berbatov completed his hat-trick - he was the difference and his second goal was world class. "We're disappointed with the result but really pleased with how we played and disappointed to go away within nothing."
