"Morgan Rogers' spectacular second-half brace helped Aston Villa come from behind to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory over West Ham in the Premier League. Both sides came into Sunday's match with contrasting objectives as Villa were looking to consolidate themselves in the top four, while West Ham were hoping to move out of the drop zone. And it was the Hammers who dealt the first blow in quick time as Mateus Fernandes netted the fastest goal in the Premier League this season,"
"Villa responded swiftly, drawing level eight minutes later as Ollie Watkins rose high to meet John McGinn's cross, with Konstantinos Mavropanos getting there first but inadvertently heading into his own net. Jarrod Bowen restored the Hammers' lead midway through the first half, cleverly diverting Freddie Potts' low drive past Marco Bizot from close range. From there, Rogers put on a clinic, carrying his side to victory on either side of a disallowed goal for Bowen, who had strayed marginally offside."
Aston Villa recovered from an early Mateus Fernandes strike to beat West Ham 3-2, with Morgan Rogers scoring twice in the second half. Ollie Watkins levelled after eight minutes via an own goal by Konstantinos Mavropanos, before Jarrod Bowen restored West Ham's lead. Rogers equalised on 50 minutes and completed the turnaround with a long, dipping strike 11 minutes from time. The result continued Aston Villa's run of victories, marking their longest-ever winning streak in the top flight, while Bowen reached a milestone of 100 Premier League goal involvements for West Ham.
