Rogers delighted as Aston Villa secure ‘massive’ Man United win | OneFootball

Morgan Rogers has hailed a ‘massive’ win for Aston Villa after the club’s 2-1 victory against Manchester United.

Aston Villa moved within three points of Premier League leaders after a hard-fought win at Villa Park. Rogers was the difference between the sides, scoring both goals for the home side.

Villa were second best in the opening 45 minutes, before a moment of magic from Rogers opened the scoring. Cutting inside from the left flank just before half-time, the England international fired a fabulous finish into the far corner.

However, Manchester United were level before the break. Just moments after the opener, Matheus Cunha capitalised on a Matty Cash error to get the visitor’s equaliser on the stroke of half-time.

Villa improved after the break and the winner arrived just before the hour. In a goal similar to his opener, Rogers drifted inside and lashed an effort beyond Senne Lammens.

Unai Emery’s team held on to take all three points, in an important victory The Villans. Villa sit third in the table, just three points behind leaders Arsenal.

“It’s massive. Every game is important, against no bigger team than United,” Rogers reflected to Sky Sports.

“They are a tough team to play against and we have not had a good record against them recently so we wanted to put it right and we are just really happy with the three points.

“The fans make football. Playing with no fans and playing with fans is two completely different sports. It is so enjoyable playing here. We have the crowd behind us and you can see it in our performances. Each and every one of them come here every game and make it a great place to play.”
