[tr][td=1,1,357]What a week it's been for Steven Gerrard. The taste of victory in the Merseyside derby, the pride of netting his 100th goal against PSV on Wednesday and now the honour of being named the PFA 2UP Fans' Player of the Month for September. [/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1,487]After an injury-delayed start to the season for the Liverpool skipper, the England international is firing on all cylinders now and with Liverpool sitting pretty in second place in the Premier League table - and top of their Champions League group - all in the Reds' garden is rosy.
  
Typically of Gerrard, whose stunning strike in the first leg against PSV, marked his return to top form, he didn't want to take all the plaudits the other night, despite reaching the magical century mark. "It was the perfect way to get my 100th goal - but I was equally delighted for Robbie (Keane) getting his first for the club."
  
Last month the club captain revealed he was playing despite being just 70 or 80 per cent fit following a groin injury. So Manchester City had better watch out now that Gerrard is back to something near 100 per cent.
  
"I feel good. I've got three or four games under my belt now and I'm confident I'm approaching top form. I am happy with my last two performances and now I'll try to build on that for Sunday."
  
Manager Rafa Benitez paid tribute to his skipper on becoming the 16th Liverpool player to score 100 goals for the club, and the Spaniard said: "I think he can go on and get 200. One hundred goals is always a very good figure, but it is especially good for a midfielder. He is one of the best offensive midfielders in the world and hopefully he will go on to score many for us in the future."
  
PFA Deputy Chief Executive Mick McGuire says of Liverpool's inspirational leader: "He is a man who needs no introduction, simply a world class individual match winner extraordinaire who again this season has hit the ground running, scoring two goals in the Champions League fixture versus Marseille and the winner in the game versus Middlesbrough with a stunning shot from outside the penalty area."
