Stoke crash Gerrard's party

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard scored on his final Premier League appearance but it proved a bittersweet moment as the Reds were thrashed 6-1 by Stoke City on Sunday at the Britannia Stadium.

Gerrard will join Major League Soccer outfit LA Galaxy, when his contract expires and any hopes the midfielder had of finishing with a victory in his 710th match were ended by a dominant first-half display by Stoke.

The Potters blew the visitors away as they carved open the Liverpool defence at will to score five goals in 23 minutes as the Reds suffered their joint biggest defeat in the Premier League. It was also Liverpool's heaviest defeat since 1954.

However, with Liverpool 5-0 down Gerrard got on scoresheet as he latched on to a flick on from Rickie Lambert with 20 minutes of the game left and struck a low shot angled past Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

However, the other outgoing legend, Didier Drogba, drew a line under his second spell at Chelsea as Jose Mourinho's side wrapped up their Premier League title-winning campaign with a 3-1 victory over Sunderland at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Diego Costa confirmed his status as the club's number one striker with his 20th league goal of the season, a 36th minute penalty to cancel out Steven Fletcher's opening goal before Loic Remy completed the win with two second half goals.
