This Gerrard penalty miss against Blackburn would probably have not made a big difference to the eventual result ( 3-1 to Blackburn), but it would certainly have set up a tense last few minutes for the home side.
Gerrard’s missed penalty vs Blackburn came just minutes after he had pulled one back for Liverpool.
