Steven Gerrard receives Aston Villa transfer demand after Leeds United win

Aston Villa beat Leeds United 1-0 in Brisbane as Danny Ings' penalty kick was all that separated the two sides at the Suncorp Stadium.

Steven Gerrard's men should have gone in at the break with a comfortable lead after Philippe Coutinho and Ollie Watkins both squandered big opportunities to take the lead in the first half. Coutinho missed a penalty and the rebound as Illan Meslier made two impressive saves, before Watkins missed a one-on-one before half time.

Villa then made a host of changes as the likes of Diego Carlos, Emi Buendia, Aaron Ramsey and Ings all came into the game. And it was the former Southampton striker who netted the only goal of the game, as Leeds defender Leif Davis handled the ball inside the box, allowing Ings to score from 12 yards.

Fans are reacting to the win on social media, and while they are happy with the squad Gerrard has assembled, more additions could be made before the new Premier League season starts. Here's a sample of what is being said on Twitter...

Two players needed. One midfielder and a striker

Midfield will be a issue if we don’t get anyone else in defo.. though 1st we looked lively Bailey look good

We don’t desperately need a striker. Midfielder yes.

Definitely need a couple more players

Scrappy win. Still crying out for that striker and midfielder

Buzzing to be watching the boys again!! Some positive signs out there, can’t wait for the Prem to start now!!

I would say we need another number 8 and maybe a striker. Dougie pass sideways and backward too much this game, and it’s wasteful up top as usual.

Well done Villa! I feel like a CM & Striker is needed
