LIVERPOOL, Dec 12 — Jurgen Klopp said he would “love” Steven Gerrard to be his successor after ensuring the former Liverpool captain’s return to Anfield as Aston Villa manager ended in a 1-0 defeat on Saturday.

Liverpool had to withstand a nervy finale as Gerrard believed his side should also have been awarded a penalty when Alisson Becker bundled over Danny Ings. Gerrard said before the game he would gladly sacrifice some of his legendary status among the Liverpool support for a result on his first trip to Anfield as part of the visiting team.

Gerrard, who joined Villa last month after three-and-a-half years as Rangers manager, has been tipped as Klopp’s successor when the German’s contract expires in 2024. Andy Roberston had two strong penalty appeals waived away, while Emiliano Martinez saved from the Scotland captain and Salah before the break.Salah bent another effort narrowly over moments later, but he finally made the difference for the only goal of the game on 67 minutes.

Going behind suddenly sparked Villa into life as Gerrard introduced Danny Ings and Emiliano Buendia to offer more of an attacking threat.
