Gerrard’s Villa battled hard before eventually losing out to Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Blocks, last-ditch tackles and Emiliano Martinez saves were a common theme before the Reds finally found a way through after 67 minutes.

The league’s top scorer, Mohamed Salah, won a penalty after a tangle with Tyrone Mings before stepping up to score the spot-kick.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa: During a post-match interview with former team-mate Michael Owen, who played with Gerrard for Liverpool and the Three Lions before moving to Old Trafford later in his own career, Villa manager was asked about the difficulties of returning to compete in front of the Anfield faithful.

“We’ve all played and gone back to Anfield, I must admit I hated going back to play against them,” Owen explained from the DAZN studio.

“But what were your emotions like going back today, and how did you feel taking a team to your home?”

Without holding back, Gerrard responded: “If I played for Manchester United I’d hate coming back here too!”
