Liverpool came from behind to beat Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium 3-2 on Saturday.
Bolton were reduced to ten men, after Sean Davis was sent off for his second bookable offence.
After the game, Bolton boss Gary Megson was full of praise for Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, who was said to be out of form by Rafael Benitez.
"Being reduced to 10 men, at this level, always has an impact and when it happens against a team of Liverpool's quality, even more so," Megson told BBC Sport.
"We were man-marking Steven Gerrard up until that point, and he was under a measure of control.
"But when Davis was sent off, we were unable to use [Fabrice] Muamba as a man-marker from then on, you can't do that when you only have 10 men," revealed Megson.
"Steven is clever, he dropped deeper and deeper and orchestrated the game from then on," concluded the Bolton boss.
