• Premier League only major prize Gerrard did not win with club
• Gerrard also has a ‘lot of regrets’ over his England career

Steven Gerrard has claimed Liverpool’s emphatic title triumph has helped him to bury his Premier League demons.

The league championship was the one club trophy that eluded the former Liverpool captain during his illustrious playing career, with his infamous slip against Chelsea in 2014 contributing to the near-miss under Brendan Rodgers. Gerrard also finished second with Liverpool in 2002 and 2009 but he insists that anguish has been alleviated by the achievement of Jürgen Klopp’s side this season.
