Steven Gerrard is already history for Aston Villa. The Birmingham side decided to get rid of him this week because the bad results in the Premier League.
After seeing how Villa have responded, anyone would think that the squad did not do enough to keep the ex-Liverpool player in his job.
After just 14 minutes, Aston Villa had scored three goals against Brentford. They were the first 14 minutes without Gerrard in charge. It is as if, once getting free from his burden, the players can now play more freely.
First it was Bailey, before the second minute mark. Later, Danny Ings added a brace in not even seven minutes.
