Cape Town - Steven Gerrard was baited by Chelsea's fans throughout the game at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and although he was granted a standing ovation from the home supporters when he was substituted late on, the Liverpool skipper played down their gesture.
"Chelsea fans have shown me respect for a couple of seconds, but slaughtered me all day," he said.
"What's important is the support from the Liverpool fans. They've been with me from day one."
