Pressure mounts on Steven Gerrard after another disappointing defeat

Steven Gerrard admits he endured a tough night at Craven Cottage as Aston Villa lost 3-0 to Fulham.

Gerrard's side are yet to win away from home after six attempts and the latest loss on the road was the most alarming of them all. Fulham outclassed Villa from the first minute and after Douglas Luiz was sent off for a headbutt, Marco Silva's side scored two more goals to seal their fourth win of the Premier League campaign.

Birmingham Live reports that the Villa head coach is now under serious threat of losing his job after his team have collected just nine points from the first 11 games of the season.

Gerrard said on Amazon Prime: "It’s tough, but I’m a man, I accept it, I understand it, I can feel their frustration, I’m frustrated with them. It was a tough night for me personally.

"We’ll see what happens, I understand the situation we’re in, I’m a fighter, I will never ever quit anything, certainly when it comes down to football or anything in life. We’ll see what happens moving forward."
