Jamie Carragher accuses Aston Villa fans of 'crossing the line' with their chants at Steven Gerrard

Jamie Carragher has criticised Aston Villa fans for 'crossing the line' with their chants towards Steven Gerrard before the former Villa boss was sacked.

Gerrard was dismissed from his role as manager of the west Midlands club last Thursday in the immediate aftermath of their disastrous 3-0 defeat to Fulham.

He left Villa in 17th place, only outside the relegation zone on goal difference and with just nine points from their first 11 games.

Under caretaker boss Aaron Danks they bounced straight back - defeating Brentford 4-0 on Sunday in a performance that couldn't have been more different to the one at Craven Cottage.
