“This does not f****** slip now!”
Manchester City – 2013/14
Liverpool came within agonising touching distance of their first Premier League title since 1990, as they went on an 11-game unbeaten run to front the title race, ahead of rivals Chelsea and Manchester City.
However, a devastating slip from Reds legend Steven Gerrard, against Chelsea, gifted striker Demba Ba the opening goal in a 2-0 Blues victory – comically after the skipper had issued a rally to his team-mates saying, “This does not f****** slip now” – was the beginning of Liverpool’s fall from top spot, eventually finishing runners-up.
The title thrillingly came down to the final weekend of the season, after defeat at Anfield, the Citizens went on an six-game unbeaten run, ending with a 2-0 victory over West Ham United to secure the trophy at the death of the season.
