UK Back Pages: Steven Gerrard Rescues Liverpool, Arsenal Smashed in Germany

Steven Gerrard's last-gasp penalty to help Liverpool defeat Ludogorets sees Gerrard play the hero role across Wednesday's back pages. 

Meanwhile, Arsenal were embarrassed at Dortmund, and their misfortunes made for plenty of tabloid fodder. 

The Mirror uses Mario Balotelli's famous "Why Always Me?" and turns it into a pro-Steven Gerrard headline. It also uses Dortmund's name to Arsenal's dismay.
