⏪ Rogers fires high-flying Villa to win over depleted Man United | OneFootball

FULL TIME! ASTON VILLA 2-1 MANCHESTER UNITED

Villa hold on to seal a rare victory over Manchester United and make it 10 wins in a row in all competitions

Morgan Rogers is the difference against a United side shorn of several players.

Unai Emery won't care one bit as an unlikely title charge continues to pick up pace.

Mount goes for it but hits the side netting.

That could be that.

Dorgu taken down by Bogarde right on the edge of the box. Chance here for United.

Cunha drags the ball all of 40 yards forward before teeing up Lacey, who warms the palms of Martínez.

Four minutes of added time left.

Lamare Bogarde comes on for Kamara as Emery looks to see this one out.

Heading towards the 90. How many minutes will be added on?

Another debut for United as the highly-rated Shea Lacey comes on for Leny Yoro.

Emi  Buendía and Evann Guessand are on for Boubacar Kamara and John McGinn.

Guessand will go to the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast right after this game.

A few half-hearted handball shouts for United waved away by VAR.

Just over 15 minutes left for this makeshift United side to rescue an unlikely point.

Villa on the verge of 10 wins in a row across all competitions, and are bringing on Donyell Malen and Lucas Digne for Ollie Watkins and Ian Maatsen.

They come on for Manuel Ugarte and Benjamin Šeško.

Martínez and Fletcher - who had that midfield pairing on their 2025/26 bingo card?

Joshua Zirkzee is set to come on here, as well as Jack Fletcher, who is about to make his Premier League debut.

Yes, he is the son of Darren Fletcher. What a moment.

WHAT A MISS!

Cunha scored a brilliant goal in the first half but he's now headed wide from less than six yards out.

Ugarte pings the ball out to Dorgu who puts one onto the head of the Brazilian, who somehow doesn't score.

Bad, bad miss.

Cunha bends one well wide of the far post.

If United are to get another equaliser, he might need to do something special again.

GOAL! ROGERS AGAIN!

He's in the form of his life, and it's another brilliant goal.

The ball falls to him in the box after good work from Tielemans and he bends another past Lammens.

Question marks again on Yoro, who just has to get to him quicker.

Lisandro Martínez almost puts one past Emi Martínez from the edge of the box.

He's had a good start in the middle of the park.

Mount puts one wide of the post after Shaw's corner eventually falls to him.

Šeško just can't reach Mount's cross.

United started this half quite well with Martínez at the base of midfield.

Second half underway.

Bruno Fernandes is off with that hamstring injury and Lisandro Martínez has come on in his place.

Very interesting.

HALF TIME!

Even at the break of a very good game.

GOAL! CUNHA EQUALISES!

Almost right away, United equalise.

It's slack from Matty Cash, who has the ball pinched off him by Dorgu.

It falls to Cunha on the left-hand side of the box and he curls the ball into the far corner brilliantly.

GOAL! ROGERS GIVES VILLA THE LEAD!

United's inability to strike while on top bites them as Morgan Rogers bends in an absolute screamer.

He keeps the ball alive on the left and cuts inside Leny Yoro and sticks one in the top corner.

World class.

Fernandes looks okay and sees his shot deflected over the bar.

They need to score while on top you feel.

Bruno Fernandes looks to have felt his hamstring but is playing on.

Cunha tests Martínez with a drive from distance.

United on top right now.

Marco Bizot is still warming up on the touchline.

There could yet be a change in Villa goal.

United have done well to match up with Villa in midfield.

Cunha and Mount are helping out Fernandes and Ugarte, and it looks like a four at the back in most part.

Martínez got a knee in the head off Cash in that sequence of play.

He gets some on-field treatment but looks good to continue.

Šeško then overhits the ball trying to get around the Villa keeper after Cunha tries to slip him in.

United are getting in behind.

The ball comes into Benjamin Šeško in the box but Emi Martínez comes out and closes the angle for him.

Big chance but excellent goalkeeping.

Patrick Dorgu gets very lucky to be given a foul after Matty Cash nicks the ball off him.

And again from the corner.

It comes all the way to Maatsen who drives the ball back across. Morgan Rogers' flick goes just wide of the post.

CLOSE!

Heaven to the rescue again.

Ugarte loses the ball and eventually McGinn fires a shot at Lammens.

The young defender is there to block the follow up.

Mason Mount looks to have dropped into the midfield three for this game.

Another system change from Amorim.

Quite the start here.

Morgan Rogers gets in behind Manuel Ugarte and slips in Ollie Watkins.

Ayden Heaven covers Leny Yoro well to clear the danger.

CLOSE!

The ball drops to Matheus Cunha 25 yards out and he's inches away from giving United the lead.

He scored home and away for Wolves against Villa last season and he came very close to scoring again here.

Early free kick comes to nothing for United as Fernandes can't beat the first man.

He is looking to make it a sixth consecutive away game in which he's grabbed an assist.

Cracking atmosphere at Villa Park.

KICK OFF!

And we're off.

The players are out and we're minutes away from kick off.

Ozzy Osbourne's grandson, Sidney, is one of the Villa mascots today.

The rock legend, who passed away in July, was a lifelong fan of the club.

Conversely, Ollie Watkins has never scored a league goal against United in his career.

His sole goal came in a 4-2 EFL Cup loss at Old Trafford in 2022.

He's scored just three in total this season. Today would be a great time to change a few stats.

United's record against Villa is brilliant as is their captain Bruno Fernandes'.

The Portuguese midfielder has scored more goals (7) against today's opponent than any other in his career.

Villa have won just once at home in the league against United since 1995 - in Unai Emery's first game in charge in October 2022.

There has been two other wins from the last 55 meetings.

Villa are looking to continue their remarkable run of form that has catapulted them into the title race.

A win today will make it 11 in 12 but they come up against their ultimate bogey side.

We're just over half an hour away from kick off and the teams are in.

United are missing several players meaning Ruben Amorim has had to make changes while Emi Martínez is back in goal for Villa.

Check the two lineups out here.
