Match Highlights And Player Comments
Rogers opened the scoring just before halftime with a curling shot from John McGinn’s assist. United equalised immediately through Matheus Cunha, but Rogers restored Villa’s lead in the 57th minute with a composed finish.
United suffered another setback when captain Bruno Fernandes was forced off at halftime due to injury. Despite efforts from substitutes, the visitors could not find a late equaliser.
Rogers, now with seven goals and three assists in 17 league games, credited the win to hard work and fan support.
It’s hard work, it’s long hours, and you want everyone to go in the top corner like that. The fans make football… ‘It is so enjoyable playing here,’ he said.
