You all know the story. Then-Liverpool captain Gerrard failed to control a Mamadou Sakho pass against Chelsea and let Demba Ba run through and score.
The match was in first-half stoppage time and Gerrard was keen to start one final attack before the break. He wasn't looking at the ball, rather further up field as Liverpool pushed forward leaving Gerrard as the last line of defence.
A miscontrol, a panicked recovery, a slip. Ba was onto the ball in a flash and ran 50 yeards almost unopposed before slotting past Simon Mignolet in front of the Kop for the lead.
Not so damaging, right? Well, it was the biggest game of Liverpool's season and a win would take the league-leaders six points clear with two games to play. Liverpool lost, ended an 11-match winning streak.
Later in the day, City easily beat Crystal Palace to move within three points of Liverpool and were holding a game in hand.
A week later, City beat Everton 3-2 before the Reds threw away a 3-0 lead in the final 11 minutes at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace all but ended the Reds' title hopes.
Liverpool beat Newcastle United on the final day of the season, but it was too little too late as City beat West Ham to complete a late title race turnaround.
And don't they know it.
