Morgan Rogers just did something vs Bologna that only Jack Grealish managed for Aston Villa
Aston Villa continue to look unstoppable under the tactical genius Unai Emery with Morgan Rogers spearheading their charge.
Rogers has endured a remarkable rise since completing the switch from Middlesbrough for £15 million in the January transfer window.
From playing in the Championship a year ago to holding his own in the Champions League, nobody can stop the 22-year-old’s path towards the elite.
Aston Villa’s latest triumph in Europe’s elite competition came over Bologna, and Rogers assisted Jhon Duran for his second goal, helping them to a 2-0 win.
Rogers was magnificent in all aspects of his game against Bologna, with one statistic now highlighting his dominance over the Serie A side.
The England under-21 international has developed into a ball-carrying machine at Aston Villa.
When he picks up the possession on the half turn, no defender can shrug him off the ball or deal with his searing pace and freakish upper body strength.

For many Villa fans, watching Rogers decimate opposition defences will serve as a flashback to the time Jack Grealish was doing similar.
The 28-year-old – who they sold to Manchester City for £100 million in 2021 – became recognised for his ability to glide past defenders.
In the aftermath of the win over Bologna, it has emerged that Rogers completed seven successful dribbles.
