Craig Bellamy scored a brace against his former club to give Liverpool a 3-1 win over Newcastle United on Friday night at Anfield.
Newcastle went ahead in 25th minute with an own goal by Daniel Agger before Bellamy fired in a low shot to level with half hour mark, Liverpool restored their lead with a free-kick from the former Magpie.
Gerrard, who made his second appearance since returning from injury, scored from a tight angle to seal three points for Kenny Dalglish’s side.
“I thought we fully deserved the victory,” Dalglish said. “It was fantastic to see Steven back to his best but I wouldn’t say he changed the game. I thought we were always in control.”
