"The England international had hit the woodwork early on, albeit United were arguably the better team in the first half at Villa Park, with Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko going close before Rogers bent a stunning finish home in the 45th minute. United got the goal their performance merited, though, three minutes later. Matty Cash was robbed by Patrick Dorgu, and Cunha finished calmly beyond Martinez."
"The loss of Bruno Fernandes to an apparent hamstring injury did not help United's chances, though, and Rogers did the damage again 12 minutes into the second half, becoming the first Villa player since Dion Dublin in 1998 to net twice in back-to-back Premier League matches. Cunha missed a glorious chance to equalise when he headed wide from Dorgu's centre soon after,"
Morgan Rogers scored two goals as Aston Villa beat Manchester United 2-1 at Villa Park. Rogers curled a first-half opener and added a second 12 minutes into the second half. Matheus Cunha levelled briefly after Matty Cash was dispossessed by Patrick Dorgu. Bruno Fernandes left with an apparent hamstring injury, and United were missing attackers Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo. Rogers became the first Villa player since Dion Dublin in 1998 to score in consecutive Premier League matches. Villa have won 10 games in a row in all competitions for the first time since 1914. Rogers has 21 goals since the start of last term and is the youngest to net 20+ for a Premier League team at 23 years and 148 days.
