Gerrard praises Liverpool fans after FA Cup win

29 January 2012 - 05:18

Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has praised the club's fans for the role that they played in yesterday's 2-1 victory over arch rivals Man Utd in the FA Cup. Two goals from Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt ensured their progress into the next round.

  • Chelsea handed big injury boost for Bayern clash
  • Fernandes unhappy with Man Utd role under Amorim

  • Prior to the game, there had been talk of a massive supporter backlash against Patrice Evra for his role in the racial fracas with Luis Suarez last year.



    However, Liverpool fans were well behaved and Gerrard said after the game: I thought the Liverpool fans were superb today," Gerrard told ITV1.



     "They never let us down and they played a part today. They pushed us through. 



    "They realised we were very tired after midweek, but when they're pushing they suck goals in, and I think they sucked Dirk's goal in today."
