Gerrard charged over horror tackle
Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association following his two-footed tackle during last month’s Merseyside derby.
Gerrard faces a three-match ban if he is found guilty of the offence, which follows his ugly lunge on Everton’s Gary Naysmith in the closing stages of the game at Anfield on December 22.
The England international publicly apologised for the tackle immediately after the game and insisted that he had attempted to pull out of making any contact with Naysmith.
