JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV – After Aston Villa defeated Everton 1-0 at home, Steven Gerrard looked relaxed in front of the Evertonians, Everton fans, and clapped as a sign of victory.
Then, Steven Gerrard smiled, his eyes turned to the fans and finally, before leaving the stadium, he stuck his tongue out at the Everton fans.
Gerrard seemed to want to express his joy in a way that is usually done by players on the field, namely sticking out his tongue as if trying to mock.
It’s similar to when Gerrard stuck his tongue out during Liverpool’s 3-1 win at Goodison Park and the iconic No.4 scored a beautiful goal back in 2001.
So, what is behind Gerrard’s attitude?
At Goodison Park, Everton’s stadium, in last night’s match between Everton vs Aston Villa, Steven Gerrard throughout the match received screams from the Everton fans.
Not just screaming, even some Everton fans also threw bottles and seemed to say harsh words during the match.
Gerrard was shouted at boo and ridicule several times, Gerrard replied with a mere smile.
Especially after Emiliano Buendia’s header broke into Pickord’s goal, the Everton goalkeeper, 2 minutes before injury time. The fans threw bottles and jeered at the Aston Villa players.
As of today, Sunday (23/1), the official Everton website reported, the authorities had arrested several Everton fans who were deemed to have caused a tantrum in the match and they were threatened with sanctions.
