"We're disappointed with the
result but really pleased with
how we played"
- Steven Gerrard
Gerrard: We deserved more
Captain Steven Gerrard felt
Liverpool deserved more from
Sunday's 3-2 defeat at
Manchester United.
Thanks to two goals from
Gerrard, the Reds dragged
themselves back into the match
after Dimitar Berbatov's header
just before half-time and a
brilliant overhead kick 14
minutes after the interval put
United in control.
However, Berbatov had the final
say when he rose to head home
his hat-trick in the 84th minute
to move the Red Devils level on
points with Arsenal and four
behind leaders Chelsea in the
Barclays Premier League.
WORLD CLASS
"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 with nothing."
Gerrard confidently stroked
home the penalty before
threading an inch-perfect free-
kick through the smallest gap in
United's defensive wall.
He admitted he may have been
slightly fortunate with the
second.
"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.
"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."
