Morgan Rogers scored twice in the opening five minutes to stun Celtic and accumulate pressure on teams over Aston Villa on the Champions League table.
Villa started at night in ninth place and knowing that he had to win to stand on every realistic opportunity to end at the top eight and secure an automatic qualification in the 16th round.
The pressure was on the UNAI EMERY and on its side, but they responded emphatically with England International Rogers in the center of the action.
Just under three minutes they had passed when youi Tielemans slipped to Jacob Ramsey under his left and his cross was perfect for Rogers to shoot Kasper Schmeichel.
What a start from the villa! 🔥

And it was 2-0 from the next Villa attack.
Ollie Watkins, the issue of a reported offer by Arsenal earlier today, took Rogers and his 20-yard shot flew beyond Schmeichel’s stretched arm and in the upper right corner.
It’s Rogers again! 🔥
A divine beginning for Morgan Rogers who delivers two goals in just four minutes 👏
