EPL : Liverpool and Man United share spoils in 1-1 draw

Steven Gerrad in action

Gerrard, returning for Liverpool after a complicated groin injury, struck with a 68th-minute free kick awarded after Rio Ferdinand tripped Charlie Adam just outside the penalty area.

Steven Gerrard scored on his first start for seven months before Javier Hernandez headed a late equaliser as Liverpool and Manchester United battled to a 1-1 draw in the Premier League at Anfield on Saturday.

But with 10 minutes remaining Hernandez headed in from point-blank range after Danny Welbeck had flicked on a corner.

United stayed top of the table with 20 points from eight matches, at least until Manchester City play Aston Villa later on Saturday. Liverpool remained fifth.
