Liverpool fans love what Steven Gerrard did in front of Everton fans at Goodison Park

Steven Gerrard earned his fifth win in charge of Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon as his side edged past Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park.

The former Liverpool captain has had a positive start to life as a Premier League manager with five wins in 10 league matches so far.

He's so far beaten the likes of Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leicester and now Everton, while also earning a 2-2 draw against Manchester United last weekend.

As his side led 1-0 at half-time against Everton, the home supporters made their feelings towards him clear as he made his way towards the tunnel.

Gerrard looked straight at the Everton supporters as he walked off the pitch, with a slight smirk on his face.

Emi Buendia headed Villa in front deep into added time in the first-half and Gerrard's side were able to hang on to clinch the victory.

The Liverpool legend faced Everton 30 times in the league as a player, having only lost four times against his local rivals.

Gerrard was also welcomed to Old Trafford with loud boos when his side faced Manchester United in the FA Cup earlier this month.

The ex-midfielder was unfazed, however, as he said after the game: “[The fans were] Relatively quiet! I have been to noisier stadiums than this.

"It was a good cup tie, a good atmosphere but in terms of what I got, water off a duck’s back.”
