Steven Gerrard takes an aim at Reds duo after Villa’s loss.
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard returned to Anfield after many years but was left fuming at the referee’s decisions.
His side were on course of making it four wins in a row under his management but that ended with Mo Salah’s penalty in the second half.

Gerrard said to BBC: “I thought Liverpool were better in terms of general play.
“Their style was better than ours, but we’ve done so well to contain them for large periods. Ultimately the game has been decided by a penalty.
“There were two penalty incidents in the game, Liverpool got theirs – if you look at that one, Salah fouls Mings first.
“It’s always hard to take when you lose football matches. We knew it was going to be a containing job. You have to ride the first 20-25 minutes against sides like this.
“We finished the game stronger, with more belief and some good opportunities.
“If an arm goes anywhere near Alisson, it’s a foul,” continued Gerrard. “So why isn’t a foul given for Danny Ings? They are the questions I’d like answering, but I can’t answer them right now.
“In hindsight I should have thrown a bit more at it a bit earlier, but you have to be careful Liverpool don’t hit you for two, three or four.”
