Steven Gerrard’s return to Anfield as the coach of Aston Villa on Match-day 16 of the ongoing Premier League season was marred by a bitter 1-0 defeat at the hands of his former club Liverpool FC. Despite losing, it was a special moment for Liverpool’s ex-captain as he was returning to the stadium that gave him after 6 years of retiring from football.
Aston Villa might have lost the match but they fought toe to toe with the mighty Reds which in itself is a brilliant corroboration of how good a manager Steve Gerrard truly is. The match ended up being so close that it was decided by the solo penalty that was converted effortlessly by Mohamed Salah very late in the game. The former midfielder turned manager is being projected as the future manager of Liverpool and if he keeps on delivering such top notch performances, we must admit that the future of the Reds is in the right hands.
However, what made the headlines after the match was a particular comment by the Aston Villa manager that infuriated the Manchester United fans.
