Soccer: Gerrard's sensational hat-trick lifts Liverpool over Everton

It is very hard to beat a team that has a player with the ability to come back into a team after missing games and score a hat-trick. Well, that is exactly what Liverpool has in striker Steven Gerrard. Gerrard scored all the goals in the Merseyside Derby against Everton as his team snapped a three game losing streak, winning 3:0.

Gerrard is the first player in 20 years to score a hat-trick in a match between rivals Liverpool and Everton. What was even more impressive was the fact that he did this  in his first game back from a hamstring injury.

Gerrard opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a beautiful lob after earlier chances were missed by Liverpool's Andy Carroll and Luis Saurez. 

Gerrard completed the incredible feat with a great goal assisted by Luis Saurez and a final goal coming in stoppage time form close range.
