The midfielder, who now plays for MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy, was able to join the Liverpool Legends side as the league in the United States is currently in the off-season.

Gerrard, who spent 17 years at Anfield, did not get on the scoresheet Down Under, but he did provide an assist for Luis Garcia's second of the match, which gave the Reds a 2-0 lead after 52 minutes.

Ian Rush and John Aldridge, who scored 409 goals between them during their professional careers at Liverpool, both found the back of the net in the closing stages of the game.

Robbie Fowler and John Arne Riise also took part in the match, which was played in front of a 40,000-strong crowd.

Liverpool Legends XI: Westerveld, McAteer, Carragher, Henchoz, Riise, Hamann, Gerrard, Berger, Garcia, Smicer, Fowler. Subs: Grobbelaar, Aldridge, Babb, Rush, McAllister, Aurelio, Biscan.
