Gerrard's final 'fighting' interview before Aston Villa axe

Sacked manager Steven Gerrard's final Aston Villa interview has been revealed.

The Liverpool legend has been fired from his first manager's job in the Premier League.

Gerrard's Villa were beaten 3-0 away to Fulham on Thursday, conceding a penalty, scoring an own goal, and having a man sent off.

"It's tough but I'm a man, I accept it," the Villa manager told Prime Video post-match.

"I understand it, I can feel their frustration, I'm frustrated with them [too]. It was a tough night for me, personally."

He added: "Look, we'll see what happens. I understand the situation that we're in. I'm a fighter, I'll never, ever quit anything, certainly when it comes down to football or anything in life. So, we'll see what happens moving forward."

Gerrard has since been officially relieved of his duties by Villa.
