Overview

• Sunderland’s official account shared a clip of Trai Hume’s challenge on Rogers captioned “Still got the ball,” which Rogers re-posted and called a dangerous tackle being glorified.
• The tackle, which sent Rogers to the turf, was not punished with a booking during the match.
• The game ended 1-1 at the Stadium of Light, with Reinildo sent off for violent conduct, Matty Cash putting Villa ahead, and Wilson Isidor equalising on 75 minutes.
• Former referee Keith Hackett said the FA could review Rogers’ social media comment, but no disciplinary action has been announced.
• Villa remain winless in the league and in the bottom three, and Emery questioned his side’s intensity and identity after the draw.
