"Morgan Rogers helped continue Aston Villa's Premier League revival as his second-half brace guided Unai Emery's team to a 2-1 comeback win over Leeds United. Rogers' neat flick three minutes after the restart cancelled out Lukas Nmecha's opener, before the England international crashed home a stunning free-kick in the 75th minute. Villa's Elland Road comeback propelled them up to fourth in the table having won six of their last seven top-flight outings, but they were made to work for their victory."
"An electric start by Leeds was rewarded in the eighth minute when Nmecha bundled the ball over the line, despite Emiliano Martinez believing he was fouled in the build-up. Brenden Aaronson then rippled the side netting from Jayden Bogle's cross as Leeds hunted a second goal, with Emery turning to his bench at the break. Half-time substitute Donyell Malen made an immediate impact on proceedings, with his delivery into the box brilliantly flicked into the bottom-left corner by Rogers in the 48th minute."
Aston Villa came from behind to beat Leeds United 2-1 at Elland Road thanks to Morgan Rogers' second-half brace. Lukas Nmecha put Leeds ahead in the eighth minute amid a disputed build-up. Donyell Malen's half-time introduction created the equaliser when his delivery was flicked by Rogers in the 48th minute. Ross Barkley was fouled by Pascal Struijk, earning the free-kick that Rogers struck into the net in the 75th minute. Emiliano Martinez produced late saves, and a VAR review overturned a Dominic Calvert-Lewin equaliser for handball. The victory extended Villa's strong run and moved them up to fourth.
