Speaking after the 1-0 win at the Tony Macaroni Arena, Gerrard said: “It’s a blatant penalty, it’s a stonewaller. I’m someone who wants to support officials because we are all human and we will make a mistake.
“But what I can’t stand for at this level is three people making the same mistake.

"They all had clear views of it. I could see it and I’m the furthest away.
“There are three officials at this level who all got it wrong together - I can’t have that. I asked for an explanation and he refused to speak to me."
