Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Steven Gerrard was quick to apologise and take ownership of his red card on Sunday.
The Reds captain was sent off less than a minute after coming onto the Anfield pitch for a mindless stomp on Ander Herrera after a rash challenge on Juan Mata in his side's eventual 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.
?It was a brazen piece of play from the veteran, who was in his final match against old rivals United, but Rodgers says he has already cleared the air with the playing group and everybody has quickly moved on from the disappointment.
?"Steven, in the changing room, apologised to the players and to myself," Rodgers told Sky Sports.
?"It was probably frustration there from Steven, he's an honest guy, very competitive and probably frustrated at the first half watching us because we never put a tackle in, we never made a challenge.
?"He's come on and unfortunately got sent off. The players adjusted well, Steven has said his apology and we move on.
?"He's a guy that knows as well as anyone that it is difficult to play in the big games with 10 men but he's a wonderful character and he'll be as disappointed as anyone."???
