{ "title": "Aston Villa's Stunning 10th Straight Win: Morgan Rogers' Solo Goals Down Man United 2-1", "article": "Aston Villa's incredible winning streak continued at Villa Park on Sunday as Morgan Rogers scored two breathtaking solo goals to seal a 2-1 victory over Manchester United. This 10th consecutive win in all competitions cements Unai Emery's team's status as a top contender for the Premier League title, with a third-place standing and just three points behind leader Arsenal. Rogers' impressive performance included two precision shots into the top corner, sandwiching Matheus Cunha's goal for Manchester United. The midfielder's first goal came in the 45th minute, as he expertly cut in from the left flank, while his second arrived in the 57th minute, showcasing his exceptional skill. The win is a testament to Aston Villa's remarkable turnaround from a struggling start to the season, having lost two of its first three games and failing to win in five. Now, the team has remained unbeaten in 19 games across all competitions, with 16 wins during that impressive run. Rogers attributed his recent success to a combination of individual and team efforts, saying, "Sometimes it's your day, and sometimes it isn't. Luckily, lately, it's been my day." Aston Villa's emergence as a title contender has caught many by surprise, but Emery's team is determined to maintain its momentum. Manchester United, on the other hand, suffered another setback in their bid to climb the standings. Despite coach Ruben Amorim's optimism about the team's progress, the loss leaves them seventh in the table after winning just two of their last eight games. Amorim acknowledged the team's improvement but conceded that the better side did not win. In a separate blow for Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes was forced to substitute out at halftime due to a soft tissue injury. The team's woes were compounded by the absence of several key players, including Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro, and Bryan Mbeumo, who are participating in the Africa Cup of Nations. However, the debut of academy graduates Jack Fletcher and Shea Lacey in the second half brought a glimmer of hope for Manchester United's future."
