Gerrard was devasted after the contest at Anfield, in which Liverpool lost 2-1, with the former captain admitting to Sky Sports that he let everyone at the Merseyside club down.

However, the Sky Sports pundit still labelled the incident as a “moment of madness”.

Emotions were always part of Gerrard’s game at Liverpool and they could either enhance or hinder the midfielder’s performances.

He’s taken teams I’ve played in into some unbelievable moments. There’s no doubt being a local player, the emotion of these occasions, the frustration coming into this game, has contributed to the moment of madness.”

This was a dark day in Gerrard’s career and although it will never be forgotten, it has not overshadowed the legendary moments the former Liverpool captain had in a red shirt.
