"Aston Villa and Man United served up a treat in the penultimate Premier League fixture before Christmas. Morgan Rogers was the star of the show, scoring two rather identical goals in either half to bring up a tenth straight win across all competitions for Villa. A seventh straight league wins also means Villa have reduced the gap to leaders Arsenal to three points."
"Man Utd, who lost captain Bruno Fernandes to injury at half-time, will feel they should have left Villa Park with at least a point but Matheus Cunha missed a great chance to score his second equaliser of the afternoon. The result means Ruben Amorim's side remain seventh in the table having failed to move level on points with Chelsea and Liverpool."
