Rogers inspires Aston Villa victory over Manchester United amid injury setbacks
Aston Villa extended their remarkable winning streak with a 2-1 triumph over Manchester United at Villa Park, driven by a decisive performance from Morgan Rogers. The result marked Villa’s seventh consecutive victory in the Premier League and their tenth in all competitions, a run unmatched in more than a century.
Rogers, 23, struck twice first on the cusp of halftime, then again early in the second half demonstrating precision and composure in front of goal. His second successive multi-goal performance made him the first Villa player since Dion Dublin in 1998 to achieve back-to-back braces in the Premier League. With seven goals and three assists this season, Rogers continues to shine as a key figure under Unai Emery’s guidance.
Manchester United, meanwhile, faced further frustration as captain Bruno Fernandes suffered a suspected hamstring injury, forcing him off at halftime. The setback compounds an already stretched squad, with Kobbie Mainoo and several other key players absent due to injuries or international commitments at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The defeat leaves United seventh in the league standings, ten points adrift of Aston Villa, who now sit firmly in third place and within striking distance of the title contenders.
