Steven Gerrard: 'We played the best side in the league'

Liverpool captain Steve Gerrard has described Manchester United as the "best side in the league" after his side played out a 1-1 draw with the reigning champions this afternoon.

Gerrard put his side in front with a free kick in the second half, before substitute Javier Hernandez headed United level with ten minutes remaining.

Asked by Sky Sports News whether his side deserved all three points at Anfield, Gerrard said: "Our fans will feel hard done by with the chances we had at the end.

"But we've played the best side in the league so I suppose a draw is not the end of the world."

The match saw Gerrard complete his first 90 minutes in seven months following a groin injury.
