Liverpool skipper Gerrard: Chelsea slip worst moment of career

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard admits is slip against Chelsea last season was one of the worst moments of his career. Gerrard's stumble gifted Demba Ba a goal and helped Chelsea end Liverpool's title tilt at Anfield.

"It was cruel," he told the Daily Mail. "I haven't lost my man at a set piece. I haven't missed a penalty. I haven't made a bad pass or a mistake. Every single person on the planet slips at some point in their life, whether it is on a set of stairs, on the floor or whatever.

"For me, it happened on the pitch at a really bad moment. But, you know, over the course of 38 games, a lot happens for you and against you and that determines whether you win the league or not. But that happened at a really crucial time and I have to face that.

"Football isn't always going to be celebrations, highs and winning things and stuff like that. When you're fighting for things at this level there are always going to be heartbreaks and disappointments and the last three months have been a massive disappointment, probably the worst of my life."
