Steven Gerrard rounded off a near-perfect week with his 100th Premier League goal on Saturday but said he was frustrated Liverpool only took a point from a 2-2 draw with Newcastle United.
.
Gerrard, 33, who netted England's second goal in a their 2-0 win against Poland at Wembley on Tuesday that sealed their place in next year's World Cup finals in Brazil, scored a penalty for Liverpool on Saturday after Newcastle defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa was sent off for a foul on Luis Suarez.
.
"But it was a missed opportunity today," he told BT Sport after the game.
.
"The game changed after the sending off. Newcastle started as the strongest team. We went 1-0 down and had a mountain to climb.
.
"But it changed in the second half and we dominated the rest of the match but couldn't get enough goals to win it. We just couldn't finish them off. Our all round game was very good though.
.
"Coming back after international duty you are always a bit flat and lacking a bit of energy but all credit to Newcastle as they hung on in there."
.
On his landmark goal he said: "Everyone has been talking about it for a bit and I would have preferred to have got it from open play but I will settle for a penalty.
Stephen Gerrard is already a legend in Liverpool and England. He's had a fantastic football career!
