Palace Diminish Gerrard's Farewell Party
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard endured a disappointing final home match for Liverpool as Crystal Palace ruined his emotionally charged Anfield farewell with a 3-1 win in the Premier League on Saturday.
Gerrard played all 90 minutes in his 709th appearance for Liverpool but couldn't conjure up one last moment of brilliance at a stadium he has illuminated so many times in his 17-year Liverpool career.
Instead, the 34-year-old former England captain produced a fairly low-key display in a result that ended Liverpool's slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. Manchester United qualified instead.
Gerrard, one of Liverpool's greatest players, came onto the pitch before kick-off with his three daughters to a guard of honour from both teams.
Gerrard will join the Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the season.
