Watch: Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho falls over when collecting cup runners-up medal
COLLECTING a runners-up medal in a cup final must be a horrible thing - but even worse is slipping on your backside when descending the Wembley steps.
Philippe Coutinho slips on the Wembley steps
Yet Liverpool attacker Philippe Coutinho did just that as his day out went from bad to worse on Sunday.
Coutinho was almost the hero in the Capital One Cup final after he equalised for Liverpool against Manchester City.
His 83rd-minute goal cancelled out Fernandinho's opener and forced extra time.
But the Brazil international missed his spot kick during the penalty shoot-out, stuttering in his run up before tamely firing low to the right with Willy Caballero saving well.

And to compound his misery a fan captured the 23-year-old taking a slip with his runners-up medal in hand - much to the surrounding supporters' delight.
