PL: Rogers scores twice as Aston Villa come back to beat Leeds

Morgan Rogers scored twice as Aston Villa came from behind to beat Leeds United at Elland Road and pile more pressure on home manager Daniel Farke.

Leeds took the lead in chaotic style after just eight minutes. A Sean Longstaff free-kick was played back across goal by Gabriel Gudmundsson and Villa keeper Emi Martinez was outjumped by Anton Stach.

Stach's header was cleared off the line - but deflected in off Leeds striker Lukas Nmecha, with the goal finally awarded after a long check by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

Villa needed a response after the break, and found it when Donyell Malen - one of two half-time changes by manager Unai Emery - provided a low cross which Rogers flicked home.

And Rogers completed the turnaround when he netted a stunning free-kick from the edge of the area 15 minutes from time.

The hosts thought they had netted an immediate equaliser, but this time VAR went against them as replays showed Dominic Calvert-Lewin had handled the ball in.

Leeds stay in the Premier League relegation zone after a third straight loss, which will raise further questions about the future of Farke.

Villa meanwhile have won six of their last seven, and will end Sunday in fourth place if Tottenham fail to beat Arsenal in the late kick-off (16:30 GMT).
