Morgan Rogers scored two superb goals as Aston Villa edged a finely balanced game against Manchester United 2-1 at Villa Park, making it 10 wins in a row in all competitions.
Matheus Cunha briefly cancelled out Rogers' first-half opener, and in an otherwise even contest both sides created chances before Rogers' second curling finish proved decisive, with United unable to take a late opportunity to level.
High-scoring expectations meet first-half goalkeeping heroics
Goals always felt likely given that United had scored four in each of their two previous games but had continued to struggle defensively; even so, for much of the first half it was the two goalkeepers who dictated the story.
