GERRARD EARNS CASH REWARD

MATTY CASH has had his doubters over the years. No end product, they said. But since Steven Gerrard took over, with his focus on attacking full-backs, Cash has thrived. Two goals and two assists in his last three games, his numbers are up there with the best. ‘I’ve worked hard,’ said Cash. ‘I don’t have to prove to anyone I’ve got a final ball. There’s been a few people doubt it. For it to come off and everyone see it is really good.’
