When Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard curled Liverpool into a 1-0 lead against rivals Everton yesterday afternoon, it was the 10th time that the midfielder had found the net in Merseyside derbies.

Only Ian Rush, Dixie Dean and Alex Young have scored more times in that particular fixture than the 34-year-old, who went into the clash with many people questioning whether or not he should still be a part of the Liverpool starting lineup.

Here, Sports Mole has looked back on all 10 of Gerrard's goals against the blue half of Merseyside.
