Morgan Rogers sends message to Aston Villa fans after Liverpool showdown
Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers took to social media to send a message to the fans after their 2-2 Premier League draw on Wednesday (February 19).
The 22-year-old played the full 90 minutes as the points were shared between the two sides at Villa Park, leaving Unai Emery’s side without a win in five Premier League games.
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 29th minute with his 29th goal of the season thanks to a defensive miscommunication between Andres Garcia and Axel Disasi.
Youri Tielemans restored parity in the 38th minute before Ollie Watkins gave the home side the lead in added time of the first half.
Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the equaliser just after the hour-mark, sending Liverpool eight points clear at the top of the table before Arsenal face West Ham on Saturday (February 22).
