Steven Gerrard hopes Aston Villa’s win is a tonic for super-fan Prince William after revealing the royal has been in regular contact despite losing the Queen.
Villa recorded their first win in four games to climb to 13th in the Premier League courtesy of Jacob Ramsey’s 41st minute winner. It helped Villa secure a deserved win on a night the club paid tribute to the late monarch.
They splashed the Queen on the frontpage of the programme and held a minute’s silence before the national anthem. Prince William sent his apologies for not attending but Villa still secured three points in his absence.
