"The strike is simply stunning," former England defender Andy Hinchcliffe told Sky Sports. "There's pace on it, there's dip. No chance for the goalkeeper. "Villa have struggled to break Tottenham down but, in Morgan Rogers, they have an individual who can turn a game."
Signed for just 12m in the summer, the former RB Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayer Leverkusen defender was given his chance when Dan Ballard picked up an injury in the second game of the season. The 27-year-old has embraced the challenge, producing a series of standout displays. In his four games, Sunderland have picked up eight points and conceded just two goals. His physicality and athleticism have been central to the team's fast start.
