Steven Gerrard admits infamous Chelsea error led to Liverpool exit in honest confession

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has admitted that his infamous error against Chelsea influenced his decision to leave the club.

Gerrard won all there was to win at Liverpool other than the Premier League title, and it's the won domestic title that slipped away from his grasp. And right towards the end of his career, it looked as though Liverpool would finally end the drought during the 2013/14 season.

But a cruel slip at home to Chelsea allowed Demba Ba through in on goal before scoring, and following the collapse at Crystal Palace, Gerrard saw his title dreams evaporate in front of his eyes. The Liverpool legend has previously admitted it's a moment he lives to regret, but now he's revealed it contributed to him leaving the club.
