Rogers scored both goals as Villa claimed a crucial three points to maintain their pressure on league leaders Arsenal

Morgan Rogers curled in a stunner before Matheus Cunha fired home to level just before the break. Rogers scored his second as he beat Leny Yoro to find the top-right corner again and the hosts held on. Villa's 10th straight win in all competitions sees them stay third, three points behind leaders Arsenal.

Cole Palmer famously “stole” and trademarked Morgan Rogers’ goal celebration, but now it is Rogers who has taken something from Palmer: his status as the best attacking midfielder in the Premier League.

The 23-year-old scored a pair of stunning strikes to pace his side to victory, and both were the result of Rogers cutting in from the left and curling the ball past Man United goalkeeper Senne Lammens and into the top right corner of the net.

Enzo Maresca is expected to make a few minor tweaks in the team for Saturday's Premier League home match against Aston Villa.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has revealed the reason he wouldn't swap Cole Palmer for Morgan Rogers ahead of Aston Villa's Boxing Day welcome to Stamford Bridge.

A pair of sumptuous goals from Morgan Rogers either side of an equaliser from Matheus Cunha made it 10 successive wins for Unai Emery's team

Aston Villa have extended their stunning winning run to 10 matches with a 2-1 victory over Manchester United. Unai Emery’s side remain third in the Premier League table but go back within three points of league-leaders Arsenal thanks to the win at Villa Park.

Chelsea threw away a commanding position as Aston Villa stretched their winning run to 11 games, thanks to an Ollie Watkins brace in a 2-1 comeback win. Joao Pedro put the Blues into a deserved first-half lead but a wretched second half from Enzo Maresca's side put paid to their faint Premier League title ambitions as Watkins stole the show on Saturday night.
