#2 Steven Gerrard slip

When it comes to blowing a lead, no-one does it better than Liverpool. When the Merseyside outfit won their 18^th league title, Manchester United had only seven under their belt. Right now, however, the Red Devils have two more titles than the Reds.

United were not the only Manchester club to which Liverpool blew their lead. During the 2013-14 season, after gaining a three-point lead over Manchester City with just three more games to go. The Reds were inches away from wining the Premier League for the first time.

However, then-captain, Steven Gerrard, failed to control a pass from Mamadou Sakho and then slipped in his own half, allowing Demba Ba to run free towards goal and score the opening goal of the game. In the end, City came out as the real winners as they won the title by a margin of two-points – making Steven Gerrard arguable the greatest player in the league to have never won the Premier League.
