Steven Gerrard

The official twitter account of Liverpool football club posted this on their account, delighted with the fans who had turned up in large numbers to witness Liverpool take on Melbourne Victory:

The Reds and Melbourne Victory attracted 95,446 to the MCG stadium, that saw the Reds beat their opponents by two goals to nil. Steven Gerrard and new recruit Iago Aspas netted a goal each for Liverpool.

Our sell-out crowd of more than 95,000 at the MCG was officially the highest ever for a football match in Melbourne and Victoria #lfctour

In fact our 2-0 win v Melbourne Victory was the 2nd highest football attendance EVER in Australia (behind Cameroon v Spain in 2000) #lfctour
