Aston Villa stepped up their unexpected Premier League title challenge as Morgan Rogers’ brilliant brace sealed a 2-1 win against Manchester United on Sunday.

Unai Emery’s side took the lead through Rogers’ stunning strike late in the first half at Villa Park.

Matheus Cunha levelled for United moments later, but Rogers bagged his sixth goal in his last six league appearances after the interval to clinch Villa’s 10th successive victory in all competitions.

Unai Emery’s third-placed side are just three points adrift of leaders Arsenal and one behind second-placed Manchester City as they chase a first English title since 1981.
