England: Steven Gerrard endured a disappointing final home match for Liverpool as Crystal Palace ruined his emotionally charged Anfield farewell with a 3-1 win in the Premier League on Saturday.
Gerrard played all 90 minutes in his 709th appearance for Liverpool but couldn't conjure up one last moment of brilliance at a stadium he has illuminated so many times in his 17-year Liverpool career.
Instead, the 34-year-old former England captain produced a fairly low-key display in a result that ended Liverpool's slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. Manchester United has qualified instead.
Gerrard, one of Liverpool's greatest players, came onto the pitch before kickoff with his three daughters to a guard of honor from both teams.
Gerrard will join the Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the season.
