A horse named Gerrard's Slip after the Liverpool captain's infamous mistake against Chelsea runs out as a 10/1 winner at Southwell.

A horse named after Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard's infamous title-costing mistake has made headlines after winning at Southwell yesterday.

The horse, which is owned by Manchester City fan Bryan Smart, was named Gerrard's Slip after the Reds' Premier League title hopes were dashed last season when the midfielder lost his footing against Chelsea.

Smart, who also owns horses Kool Kompany and Captain Dunne, watched the horse run out as a 10/1 winner of Tuesday's 3pm race.

Gerrard's slip contributed to City securing their second league title in three years.
