Steven Gerrard will remember his last derby with United but it will be a very brief memory.

The Liverpool captain came on at half time to spark his club back to life after going behind against their rivals but he was no sooner walking back down the tunnel having been issued with a red card.

Liverpool eventually lost 2-1 in a crucial game in the bid for a top four spot and they sit five points adrift from United with just eight matches left.

Gerrard now faces a three-game ban as his career at Anfield threatens to peter out anticlimactically but he fronted up and apologised for the red card this afternoon. He said he let the club and the fans down and accepted full responsibility for the result.
