Gerrard rescues Reds

14 January 2008
The Tigers were two ahead through Paul McShane and a Jamie Carragher own goal.
But Steven Gerrard scored twice in eight minutes, taking his tally for the season to 11.
It was no surprise when Hull took the lead after 12 minutes.
A Geovanni free-kick on the right sailed right across the box and was knocked back into the danger area by Marlon King, where McShane rose to head home.
After 22 minutes the visitors went 2-0 up, Bernard Mendy beating Andrea Dossena and pulling the ball back into the six-yard box, where Carragher turned it into his own net.
Just a minute later however, Liverpool pulled one back. Dirk Kuyt surged down the right and fired in a low cross which fell for Gerrard to clip home.
In what was now a tremendous match, Liverpool were level after 32 minutes. Carragher's cross was headed down by Kuyt for Yossi Benayoun to hook on, giving Gerrard a 10-yarder for the equaliser.
Liverpool almost took the lead after 59 minutes when Sami Hyypia's downward header from Gerrard's corner hit the foot of a post.
Xabi Alonso curled a 20-yarder just over the bar and Boaz Myhill then saved well from substitute Nabil El Zhar but Liverpool could not find that elusive third goal.
