Overview
- Morgan Rogers scored both goals in a 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Villa Park, extending Aston Villa’s winning streak in all competitions to 10.
- Villa sit third in the Premier League, three points off leaders Arsenal and one behind Manchester City after the result.
- Unai Emery said he was unhappy with Rogers’ first-half display and described his jacket toss as an adrenaline release before praising the forward’s response and work ethic.
- Rogers is the first Villa player since Dion Dublin in 1998 to record back-to-back Premier League braces and has 21 goals across all competitions since the start of last season.
- Rogers downplayed individual praise and title talk, while outside analysis suggests he could attract major bids next summer as Villa manage finances, with trips to Chelsea and Arsenal up next.
