Match Report:Marseilles 1-2 Liverpool [Champions League] [Highlights]
Trailing in the Stade Velodrome, the Liverpool captain collected a square pass from Dirk Kuyt just outside the penalty area after 26 minutes and produced a wonderful first-time curling shot which dropped into the far corner of the net. It was a marvellous goal and could hardly have been better placed.
Gerrard added a second on the half-hour, converting a twice-taken penalty after Ryan Babel had been felled in the area for what turned out to be the winner.
Marseilles had gone in front after 23 minutes, Lorik Cana being allowed to run unchecked and collect a through-ball after Javier Mascherano had pushed up hoping for an offside flag.
Torres, Gerrard could be fit for Man United match
Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard have resumed light training and could be fit for Liverpool's match with Manchester United next week.
Manager Rafa Benitez said Thursday the duo could be back in 10 days, putting them in contention for the Sept. 13 Premier League game.
Torres tore a hamstring Sunday, while Gerrard is recovering from a minor groin operation last week.
"Both players are now back jogging and will be out for 10 to 12 days," Benitez said. "Gerrard might be back before Torres but you never know."

Xavi Hernandez made it 2-0 in the 73rd minute with a low shot past Denmark goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen, before Alonso added his second in injury time, slotting in a half-volley from close range after a pass from Diego Capel.
