"A week on from sealing victory at West Ham by following up a fine finish with a stunning strike, the 23-year-old was at it again as Villa headed into Christmas within three points of leaders Arsenal. Rogers showed skill and confidence when cutting in from the left to bend home a beautiful strike late in a first half that that ended with Matheus Cunha levelling for United after Matty Cash was dispossessed."
"But Villa were not to be denied a seventh straight Premier League victory as Rogers hammered home his second after the break. United were without seven first-team players at Villa Park and their second loss in 11 matches was compounded by an injury to their captain. Play got off to a frenetic start at a rocking Villa Park, where Cunha struck narrowly wide from 20 yards before Ayden Heaven put his body on the line to stop Ollie Watkins at the other end."
