Everton vs Aston Villa: Gerrard’s Villa Rub Salt Into Everton Wounds, Win 1-0

By Daily Sports on January 23, 2022

Everton’s change of management did not result in a change of fortunes as Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard enjoyed a winning return to Merseyside with a 1-0 victory at Goodison Park.

Emiliano Buendia’s header in first half stoppage time separated the sides to leave the Toffees still just five points above the relegation zone in 16th.

Duncan Ferguson took temporary charge of Everton following the sacking of Rafael Benitez last weekend after a run of just one win in 13 league games.

Ferguson was unbeaten in three matches as caretaker boss against Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal before Carlo Ancelotti took charge just over two years ago.

But he could not replicate that success as former Liverpool captain Gerrard got one over on his old rivals.

“It’s a big win for us,” said Gerrard, whose side move up to 10th in the table.

“It was a different style of game. Especially second half we had to roll our sleeves up and put our bodies on the line.” (Agency report)
