Chelsea game will always haunt retired Liverpool great Gerrard

A costly slip in the Premier League against Chelsea in 2014 felt like a personal disaster to Steven Gerrard.

Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard, who retired from football on Thursday, has described how his slip against Chelsea in the Premier League in 2014 felt like a "disaster" in his life.

Liverpool looked to be on the brink of claiming their first Premier League title, but Gerrard's mistake let in Demba Ba to score the opener in a 2-0 win for Chelsea, who then went on to be crowned champions.

While Gerrard's Liverpool career featured highs such as sealing Champions League glory against AC Milan in Istanbul, that Chelsea match will always be remembered as a crushing low for the club's home-grown hero.
