Captain Steven Gerrard 87th minute goal turned out to be a late winner for Liverpool as they inch closer to the top four in the English Premier League.
Earlier, the Brit footballer had missed a penalty shot when the score was leveled on1-1, before his goal gave Liverpool the final lead of 2-1, Sports24.com reported.

Nedum Onouha was shown a second yellow card and was sent out of the field, before Gerrard's winner left Queens Park Rangers(QPR) one loss away from getting down in the points table.
