How Rogers went from Man City prospect to Guardiola tormentor
After scoring Aston Villa's second goal in a deserved Premier League win over Manchester City, Morgan Rogers did the "shivering" celebration popularised - and potentially soon trademarked - by Chelsea's Cole Palmer.
If you believe Rogers, however, he came up with the celebration when he and Palmer were Manchester City academy team-mates.
Palmer and Rogers have more in common that just a celebration. Both were unable to break through at City, before finding Premier League fortune elsewhere.
While Palmer is a Premier League supernova at Chelsea, Rogers has been more of a slow burn.
But they share a deftness of touch, a directness of run, and the granite confidence to try the unusual and unexpected - allied with the skill to pull it off.
