Steven Gerrard celebrates making it 2-2[LNB]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.[LNB]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.[LNB]However, Berbatov had the final say when he rose to head home his hat-trick in the 84th minute.[LNB]'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.[LNB]'But Berbatov completed his hat-trick - he was the difference and his second goal was world class.[LNB] Back in the hunt: Steven Gerrard nets from the penalty spot[LNB]'We're disappointed with the result but really pleased with how we played and disappointed to go away within nothing.'[LNB]Gerrard confidently stroked home the penalty before threading an inch-perfect free-kick through the smallest gap in United's defensive wall.[LNB]He admitted he may have been slightly fortunate with the second.[LNB]'I saw how he (Edwin van der Sar) set the wall up and the idea was for me to try to get it over,' he added.[LNB]'But you see so many free-kicks where walls break or they go through gaps and if you hit the target you get your reward and I got that.'[LNB] Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson accuses Liverpool star Fernando Torres of 'cheating'Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists: We should have scored TEN against LiverpoolMan United 3 Liverpool 2: Berba's brilliant treble shatters Roy's boysHe had to go!
