Steven Gerrard said he is pleased that Jon Moss is retiring from refereeing at the end of the season following Aston Villa’s defeat by Liverpool on Tuesday night.
Liverpool came from behind to win 2-1 and maintain their challenge for the Premier League title. Douglas Luiz gave Villa the lead three minutes in when he slammed in a rebound after Alisson pushed out his header, but Joel Matip equalised minutes later with a close-range finish.
Villa had plenty of chances, but went behind when Sadio Mane flicked in an inventive header from Luis Diaz’s cross. Danny Ings spurned several chances and had a goal ruled out for offside as the home team unsuccessfully pushed for a point.
