Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has mocked himself about his costly slip against Chelsea, which could have costed the club their first ever Premier League trophy.
The Englishman slipped over in his own half to allow Blues striker Demba Ba through on goal, who neatly converted past Simon Mignolet, during their 2-0 victory at Anfield a few weeks ago, but despite it being the downfall to their title-challenge, the skipper is still able to mock himself for his costly error.
At the Liverpool’s end of season awards ceremony, Gerrard was asked about the title-race and if they have regrets over it, and he mentioned how they have to move on when something ‘slips away’.
Gerrard said: ‘The biggest message when you sign for this club is you never get too high when you win an award or trophy and you never get too down when one slips away – literally slips away.
‘You continue to fight game by game but for me I stand here really proud of my team-mates and have a huge belief that if this group of players stick together and we can make the right additions in the summer the future is bright for the club.’
The Reds lost the initiative in the title-race after the Chelsea defeat, and then they all-but lost the trophy when they threw away a three-goal lead against Crystal Palace on Monday night.
Following Manchester City’s 4-0 win against Aston Villa, The Citizens just need to pick up a point at home to West Ham United on the final day of the season.
