Steven Gerrard forced to take awkward team coach ride after Aston Villa sacking following Fulham defeat

Steven Gerrard was forced to take an awkward coach ride home on Thursday night after being sacked by Aston Villa following their 3-0 loss to Fulham.

The Liverpool legend was dismissed as Villa boss straight after the crushing defeat in west London. The 42-year-old was subjected to unsupportive chants of 'you're getting sacked in the morning' from the away end all night and, in the end, he didn’t even last that long.

Harrison Reed’s strike had Fulham 1-0 up at the break before Douglas Luiz was shown a straight red card in the 62nd minute. Aleksandar Mitrovic scored from the penalty spot to double the hosts’ lead before a Tyrone Mings own goal compounded Villa’s misery.
