Gerrard sings Luis' praises

"It was a huge win for us and Luis showed once again that he's an absolute genius,” he told the Echo. “People had been talking about him going five games without a goal but his contribution to the team has never wavered.

“He is very unselfish. At times he's been asked to play in a wider role and he has shown what a great team player he is. Even when he wasn't scoring, he was still terrorising defenders and creating goals for us.

“It was a great way for him to celebrate 100 league games for the club. His record is phenomenal.

“All strikers go through spells where they don't score but he's back on the scoresheet now and hopefully there's plenty more to come from him."
