'Proof that Steven Gerrard should NEVER manage a Premier League club again': Fans suggest sacked manager 'was the problem' after Aston Villa score three goals in 15 minutes against Brentford just days after his dismissal as head coach

Fans on social media have been quick to poke fun at Steven Gerrard after Aston Villa demolished Brentford just days after his dismissal as head coach.

The 42-year-old was dismissed of his duties on Thursday after a string of poor results left them looming just one spot above the league's relegation zone - having lost six of their opening 11 games.

And after Villa stormed into a 3-0 lead within the first 15 minutes of their game against Brentford - just three days after his sacking - fans were quick to suggest the Liverpool legend was 'holding them back'.
