Aston Villa head coach, Steven Gerrard, has hit back at Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka’s complaints after the youngster called for more protection from the referee during the Gunners’ Premier League 1-0 win against Aston Villa at the weekend.
Saka scored the only goal of the match as Arsenal defeated Aston Villa at Villa Park.
However, Saka was not happy with some of the tackles from Aston Villa’s players during the clash at Villa Park and even voiced his frustrations to the referee, Andrew Madley.
He said: “I was not complaining, but I wanted to let him know that is my game, I am going to run at players.
“Sometimes I need a bit more protection when players are purposely trying to kick me. That is all I wasletting him know.”
