Morgan Rogers scored twice in the first five minutes to stun Celtic and stack the pressure on the teams above Aston Villa in the Champions League table.
Villa began at night in ninth place and knowing that they had to win to have realistic chances of finishing in the first eight and obtaining an automatic qualification in the final of 16.
The pressure was on Unai Emery and its side, but they responded categorically with England International Rogers at the center of the action.
A little less than three minutes had passed when your Tielemans slipped into Jacob Ramsey at the bottom left and his cross was perfect for Rogers to pull in front of Kasper Schmeichel.
What a Villa departure! 🔥

And it was 2-0 of the next villa attack.
Ollie Watkins, the subject of a reported offer from Arsenal earlier during the day, chose Rogers and his 20 yards shot flew over the tense arm of Schmeichel and in the upper right corner.
It’s Rogers again! 🔥
A divine start for Morgan Rogers who delivers two goals in just four minutes 👏
