Liverpool Legend Steven Gerrard Reveals Main Reason He Left the Reds for LA Galaxy

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has revealed the principal reason behind his move from Merseyside to Los Angeles in 2015 was actually his infamous slip from the clash with Chelsea in 2014.

At the time, Liverpool looked destined to finally break their Premier League duck with a title triumph, but the 2-0 home loss to Chelsea sparked the beginning of the end of their title fight.

Having been five points clear at the top with three games to go - and fresh off delivering his notorious 'we do not let this slip now' speech the week before - Gerrard's poor pass and subsequent stumble allowed Demba Ba to score the crucial opener on that day in April 2014.
