Steven Gerrard's final match was one to forget.
Even though the captain managed to score during his last match before leaving to join the LA Galaxy, Liverpool suffered its biggest defeat during the Premier League era in losing 6-1 to Stoke City.
Brendan Rodgers has apologised and said Liverpool are "embarrassed" by their performance.

Their worst Premier League defeat before Sunday's result occurred against Coventry City, a 5-1 loss in 1992.
The outcome also marked the first time since a 7-2 loss to Tottenham in 1963 that Liverpool conceded at least six goals.
For Stoke, however, the result was the club's biggest Premier League victory.
