Steven Gerrard's unfortunate slip against Chelsea gets the Twitter treatment (PHOTOS)

Steven Gerrard, the king of Liverpool soccer and one of the greatest players ever to grace the Premier League is getting an un-royal treatment on Twitter after an unfortunate slip on the pitch led to an easy Chelsea goal Sunday.

Pranksters have been quick to mock the farcical play which was like a gift opening goal for Chelsea's Demba Ba at Anfield.

In a unending series of memes, tweets and photoshopping, the mishap — during first-half injury time during Liverpool's 2-0 loss — made the 33-year-old star the butt of the jokes afterwards.

It didn't help that the England captain's impassioned speech two weeks ago — after his side beat rival Man City — included the now immortal line "We don't let this slip."
