With seven goals and three assists in 17 league games, the 23-year-old Morgan Rogers has become a key figure for Villa. His form has helped the club reach 36 points, just behind leaders Arsenal on 39 and Manchester City on 37.

Villa struggled to control the game for much of the first half. The breakthrough came just before halftime when John McGinn found Rogers with a precise pass.

Rogers showed great composure, keeping the ball in play before cutting inside the box and curling a stunning shot into the top corner past goalkeeper Senne Lammens.

Manchester United responded quickly. Matty Cash lost possession near Villa’s penalty area, and Matheus Cunha smashed the loose ball past Emiliano Martinez to level the score before the break.

United’s momentum did not last long. Captain Bruno Fernandes was forced off at halftime due to injury, dealing a major blow to their hopes of getting something from the match.

Villa remained the stronger side and protected their lead, sealing another famous win as they continue to push hard in the title race.
