Gerrard reveals he had back injection ahead of infamous slip which cost Liverpool in 2014 title race

Steven Gerrard has revealed that he had an epidural injection to deal with a back injury before his costly slip in Liverpool’s 2-0 loss to Chelsea in 2014.

The former Liverpool captain, who is now manager of Rangers, was speaking ahead of the release of Make Us Dream, the biopic of his life which will be shown in cinemas this week, and said he wanted to be as open and honest in the film as possible.

His slip against Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side at Anfield led to Demba Ba opening the scoring for the Blues, in what is known as a pivotal moment in the Premier League title race from the 2013/14 season.
