Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard gives his seal of approval to Anfield's new star

Liverpool returned to winning ways on Monday night against Everton and the game saw Stefan Bajcetic announce himself as the club’s newest star.

Bajcetic was making just his third start in the Premier League, and his 13th appearance in all competitions, but his inexperience was not evident in the Merseyside derby. The 18-year-old put in a brilliant performance in midfield, earning the man of the match award as goals from Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo helped Liverpool pick up a 2-0 win.

Bajcetic showed remarkable composure in the middle of the pitch, helping Jordan Henderson and Fabinho get the better of the midfield battle against Amadou Onana, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Idrissa Gueye. He won the ball back on several occasions while producing some eye-catching touches and passes.
