Gerrard scored an injury-time winner from the penalty spot after Balotelli had opened the scoring.
Can he replace Luis Suarez's goals for Liverpool?If yes why,if no why,Continue for what Steven G said...
"I think it will be the first of many. I thought he worked his socks off. You look at strikers and sometimes when it is not going their way they sulk but he was relentless and he stayed in there and that one good chance which came his way he took and it was a great finish."
Gerrard accepted that Liverpool did not touch the heights with their display but believes it will take time for a team featuring five new signings to reach their peak.
He added: "We are very relieved. It was very important to start the competition off with maximum points. I don't think it was a very good performance from ourselves but we have managed to take the three points, which is vital.
"I think we will get better as the season progresses. We have a lot of new faces trying to find their feet and settle in and there is a lot of expectancy on us because of how well we performed last year but it will take time to get back to that level -- hopefully sooner rather than later. Sometimes you have to crawl before you can walk."
