Gerrard in Rotterdam rumpus
Related Articles
05 August 2007
The final match of the Rotterdam Tournament was anything but a friendly as Liverpool fought back from a goal down against Feyenoord for Gerrard to grab a second-half equaliser.
Scroll down to read more:
The game had been simmering for a while, with young winger Royston Drenthe in the thick of the trouble. His late tackle on Gerrard in the dying minutes caused uproar with players from both sides converging in a angry melee and Gerrard was seen to shove Theo Lucius. The England midfielder could easily have been shown a red card. The game saw a total of nine cautions.
Manager Rafa Benitez will have been disappointed by Liverpool's failure to create chances and it needed a penalty save by Jose Reina from Luigi Bruins four minutes from time to prevent a defeat.
Feyenoord had taken the lead on the stroke of half-time. Andwele Slory's drive came back off a post and Drenthe finished.
