Morgan Rogers Brace Sends Aston Villa Past Leeds and Into Premier League Top Four

Leeds dropped into the relegation zone with a fifth defeat in six.

Overview

  • Leeds went ahead in the eighth minute through Lukas Nmecha after a lengthy VAR review of the build-up.
  • Unai Emery introduced Donyell Malen and Ian Maatsen at half-time, and Malen’s low cross set up Rogers for the 48th-minute equaliser.
  • Rogers clinched the points with a curling free-kick from the edge of the box in the 75th minute.
  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a close-range finish ruled out for handball after VAR moments after Villa’s second.
  • The result made it six wins in seven league matches for Villa after a winless start to the season, increasing pressure on Daniel Farke.
