Liverpool were top billing on MOTD on Saturday, yet it was what occurred at Aston Villa with Steven Gerrard that got supporters talking on social media.
As posted by Anfield Edition on Twitter, the BBC Sport editorial team had mistakenly labelled Gerrard as ‘Liverpool Manager’ rather than ‘Aston Villa Manager’ in the Premier League coach’s post-match interview.
It was a humorous moment given the speculation surrounding Gerrard one day returning to Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement. With the Villa manager impressing in his first few games in the Premier League.
Indeed, the Midlands side have won every fixture since Gerrard’s arrival, with Villa beating Crystal Palace over the weekend to put at ease early talk of a shock relegation back down to the Championship.
