Steven Gerrard has effectively told Bukayo Saka to 'toughen up' after the Arsenal star complained about some rough treatment he endured during the Gunners' 1-0 victory at Aston Villa on Saturday.
Saka scored the only goal in the match at Villa Park, which consolidated Arsenal's fourth place standing in the Premier League and strengthened their hopes of a return to Champions League football.
But after the match, the England international revealed that he had spoken to referee Andrew Madley about the level of attention he had been receiving from Villa's defenders.
