Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres returned to Anfield on Sunday but Mario Balotelli outshone both, scoring one and setting up another in a 2-2 draw in the Liverpool All-Star charity match.

Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher captained teams at a sold-out Anfield and were joined by a host of players from Liverpool’s past and present, as well as a number of star names from the football world including Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry and Chelsea captain John Terry.

But it was the half-time introduction of former Liverpool heroes Suarez and Torres which brought the ground to its feet as the pair played together for the first time.

However, it was current Liverpool striker Balotelli who took centre stage, taking just nine minutes to give Team Carragher the lead, beating Brad Jones with a low right-footed strike.

Carragher's side were two goals to the good in the 23rd minute with Balotelli, who has scored just four goals for the club since arriving last summer, involved again as Didier Drogba latched onto the Italian’s inch-perfect through ball, before rounding Jones to tap the ball home into the empty net.

Gerrard’s men were handed a lifeline just before the break and it was the captain himself beating former team-mate Pepe Reina from the spot after Martin Kelly brought down Jerome Sinclair.

Gerrard's side were back in it and at half-time he sent for the cavalry as former Anfield heroes Suarez and Torres came onto the field with Henry one of the players to make way.

And it was not long before the Kop was in full voice, chanting the names of their former stars as Torres combined with Gerrard, only for the skipper to fire his shot over the cross bar.

Gerrard then scored his second penalty afee Carragher brought down Suarez for the game to end 2 goal apiece.
