Of course you do, it was everywhere in the build-up to Sunday's clash between the same sides. You couldn't browse the internet or flick through the sports channels without some sort of reference to it, with Chelsea even gleefully tweeting a video of the goal to the acclaim of their fans on Saturday. As far as today's Liverpool were concerned though, it seemed to be the furthest thing from their minds as they took on the Blues at Anfield on Sunday. (Image: Getty Images) Of the Reds' starting lineup, only Mohamed Salah played in that fateful 2014 game - and he was playing for Chelsea - and so sure enough they approached the task at hand, namely earning three points in their title challenge, without being clouded by inner demons. Sadio Mane's close range header and Salah's glorious long-range strike secured those points, ensuring a reversal of that 2014 scoreline which basically ended the title hopes of Brendan Rodgers' side. (Image: Andrew Powell) But clearly 'The Slip' was still on the minds of some Liverpool supporters. Because when Andy Robertson took a tumble while in possession of the ball late in the game, the moans, groans and sense of deja vu were palpable. (Image: andyrobertson94/Instagram) But it needn't be. Chelsea's attempt at an attack came to nothing, leaving Jurgen Klopp laughing his head off in his technical area. And after the match, Robertson took to his Instagram Story to tell fans to "Relaxxx", seemingly claiming that he had things under control all along. We're not so sure about that Andy, but at least you might have laid a few ghosts to rest.<doc-sep>Jurgen Klopp hopes Andy Robertson slip ‘will finally close slipping book' The last time a Liverpool player slipped at Anfield against Chelsea, it had much more drastic consequences Jurgen Klopp has said he hopes Liverpool can 'close the slipping book' after Andy Robertson was unpunished after mis-controlling the ball and slipping on Sunday afternoon against Chelsea. Advertisement For context, in case you've been living under a rock for the past five years, the last time Liverpool played Chelsea at Anfield while chasing a Premier League title, Steven Gerrard's slip gifted the ball to Demba Ba, who slotted the ball past Simon Mignolet. Chelsea won. Liverpool blew the title. You remember. Anyway, moving on. There was a lot of tension at Anfield today, as Reds fans feared the narrative Gods would punish them with a repeat of that infamous episode. And there was a repeat, kind of, as Andy Robertson slipped when controlling the ball. Luckily for Liverpool, the ball fell to Gonzalo Higuaín, meaning anyone, including your grandmother, could have caught him up before he got through on goal. Liverpool were also 2-0 up. If anything, it was funny, even to Liverpool fans, that it happened again. Andy Robertson is nailed on to be a Liverpool legend. Had my reservations before but hard to deny after this. pic.twitter.com/MKDXC5WNWH — FootballJOE (@FootballJOE) April 14, 2019 Speaking about that moment, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp suggested he hoped this moment would bring a close to a chapter. "We can finally close the slipping book - Robbo's slip and nothing happened," Klopp said.

Sadio Mane opened the scoring with a header in the second half before Mohamed Salah made it two with one of the best goals he will ever score. Chelsea enjoyed a spell of pressure moments after Liverpool had made it two, with Eden Hazard even hitting the post. But the Reds were able to hold on, despite history looking as if it was going to repeat itself at one point. Back in 2014 Liverpool were on course to win the Premier League title but a Steven Gerrard slip allowed Demba Ba through on goal. (Image: Sky Sports) The striker slotted home to give Chelsea the lead in a game they went on to win 2-0 before Manchester City went on to win the title. This Sunday Reds left-back Andy Robertson had the ball out left when suddenly he slipped to the ground. (Image: AFP/Getty Images) Gonzalo Higuain picked the ball up and made a beeline for goal, but his attempt to go forward came to nothing. On Twitter Liverpool fans revealed their relief, while on the touchline Jurgen Klopp produced a huge grin, according to Geoff Shreeves on Sky Sports.<doc-sep>
Andy Robertson overcame a scare at Anfield on Sunday, after slipping against Chelsea and momentarily bringing back memories of former Reds captain Steven Gerrard doing likewise in the same fixture in 2014. In an almost mirrored situation, Liverpool came up against rivals Chelsea in the final weeks of the season with the Premier League title on the line. As the game wound down to the latter stages with Chelsea pushing for a way back in, Robertson lost his footing near the halfway line when looking to make an inside pass.

Liverpool quickly recovered and went on to see out the game, taking a 2-0 win and returning to the top of the Premier League. In the aftermath of the tie, Robertson saw the funny side of things when taking to social media. Posting an image of the slip on Instagram, Robertson wrote: 'Relaxxx.' The left back was seen celebrating passionately at the final whistle, as Anfield turned into a cauldron of noise and relief. Mohamed Salah scored a memorable left-foot pile-driver in the Anfield showdown Jurgen Klopp's side took the lead in the tie through a superbly timed Sadio Mane header, before Mohamed Salah doubled the margin with a goal of the season contender at in front of the Kop.
