Liverpool 0-0 Sunderland: Gerrard still world class - Brendan Rodgers

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says captain Steven Gerrard is still "world class" after the midfielder came off the bench to lift the Reds in their 0-0 draw against Sunderland.

Rodgers' side failed to build on their midweek triumph at Leicester City as Raheem Sterling had a late penalty appeal turned down but Sunderland were good value for a draw.

It took until the 63rd minute for the first shot on target which came via Lucas Leiva for Liverpool.
