On 28 October 2007, Gerrard played his 400th game for Liverpool in a league match against Arsenal, in which he scored.
He scored in all but one of Liverpool's domestic and European matches during the month of November, and after scoring the only goal in a Champions League away tie against Olympique de Marseille on 11 December, he became the first Liverpool player since John Aldridge in 1989 to score in seven consecutive games in all competitions.
