"It was very pleasing to get off the mark. I'm starting to feel a little bit sharper, I'm very close to full fitness," Gerrard was quoted as saying by bbc.co.uk after the match.
"I felt like a kid out there again. I don't want to come off - I want to play as much football as I can. One of the reasons why I've come to this team was to start all the games and play as many minutes as possible.
"I was determined not to become a squad player. I still feel like I've got energy, I still love the game, I'm enjoying training and I'm settling in pretty nicely," he said.
The match was attended by former England captain David Beckham, who had previously featured for LA Galaxy.
