Gerrard managed to roll back the years on Saturday afternoon with a supreme effort that nestled in off the post.
The score was 2-2 and with just minutes to go, Gerrard settled matters, receiving a ball on the edge of the box before swivelling and aiming his shot into the far corner.
Previous goals from Robbie Fowler, Djibril Cisse, Andrea Pirlo and Giuseppe Pancaro put an entertaining game in the balance.
But it one of Liverpool’s greatest players that had the final say – and in front of the Kop end too.
And naturally, Reds fans on social media had their say on the matter.
One said: “He had to get the winner didn’t he.”
Another went with: “Steve Gerrard, Gerrard, He’ll pass the ball 40 yards.”
One tweeted: “The best ever.”
One channelled their inner Martin Tyler, tweeting: ”I swear you’ll never see anything like this again what a hit son what a hit.”
Another jibed at Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, writing: “Retired Gerrard >current pogba.”
One wrote: “Captain fantastic strikes one last time for Liverpool.”
Another joked that Liverpool should sign their former captain. “Announce Gerrard,” the social media user wrote.
One even imagined Gerrard winning the league for Liverpool, tweeting: “Imagine if this was the Wolves game at the season for the title!”
One noted the whole team performance as legendary, writing: “OUR LEGENDS.”
Another said: “Some things never change.”
And finally, another went with: “Gerrard still has it. Quality finish.”
