Morgan Rogers has been voted Premier League Player of the Matchweek for Matchweek 17 after his brilliant two-goal display in Aston Villa's 2-1 home win over Manchester United . The midfielder was the standout performer at Villa Park on December 21, sealing a vital victory that kept Unai Emery's side firmly in the title conversation.
The result, which pushed Villa to within three points of the summit, was covered in detail by SoftFootball following the final whistle. The award caps another impressive week for Rogers, whose name has been everywhere lately.
His rise has even sparked debates beyond Villa, with recent discussion around his form and wider Premier League impact, including comparisons raised after Enzo Maresca publicly dismissed any idea of trading Cole Palmer for the Villa star , a moment also reported by SoftFootball earlier this week.
