Liverpool 2-1 QPR: Gerrard atones for penalty miss with late winner

Steven Gerrard went from villain to hero within the space of eight minutes as Liverpool overcame a spirited QPR to claim all three points at Anfield.

Gerrard rose highest to nod in a Coutinho corner on 87 minutes soon after seeing a penalty saved by Robert Green as he marked his penultimate match at Anfield with a winning goal.

Leroy Fer had earlier bundled in a corner to cancel out Coutinho's beautifully-worked first-half opener and give QPR hope in their increasingly forlorn battle against relegation, but Gerrard had the final word.
