Steven Gerrard was the brunt of the same joke on Twitter after LA Galaxy lost their title crown

Not quite the fairytale debut

Not quite the fairytale season.

Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard won’t be adding another medal to their trophy cabinets after the LA Galaxy relinquished their league title following a 3-2 defeat to the Seattle Sounders in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Neither Keane or Gerrard were on the scoresheet last night as the Sounders advance to the Western Conference semi-finals and a match against either FC Dallas or Vancouver Whitecaps.

It seems that Twitter was quick to remind the Liverpool legend that he’s yet to lift a domestic title following 17 years at Anfield and his debut season in LA.

I’m pretty confident that Gerrard couldn’t give a s**t about these comments and would happily point to his 2 FA Cups, 3 League Cups, 2 Super Cups, UEFA Cup, Champions League and endless personal accolades, but Twitter didn’t miss a chance to rub salt into his wounds.

Thankfully the voice of reason prevails.
