In the first five minutes, Morgan Rogers scored two goals to stun Celtic and plunge the pressure on the teams over Aston Villa in the Champions League table.
The villa started the night in ninth place and knew that they had to win to have a realistic chance, to take place under the top eight and to secure the automatic qualification for the 16th round.
The pressure was on Unai Emery and his side, but they emphasized in the center of the campaign with England International Rogers.
Almost three minutes had passed when Youri Tielemans slipped on the left in Jacob Ramsey and his cross was only a centimeter perfection so that Rogers fired past Kasper Schmeichel.
What a start from the villa! 🔥

And it was 2-0 from Villa’s next attack.
Ollie Watkins, today the subject of a reported offer of Arsenal, chose Rogers and his 20-yard shot flew past the outstretched arm of Schmeichel and into the right upper right corner.
It’s Rogers again! 🔥
A divine start for Morgan Rogers, who scored two goals in just four minutes 👏
