Rogers Strikes Again: Aston Villa Clinches Round 17 POTW Glory
24 December 2025
Matchweek Update
Today the Premier League announced the winner of Round 17’s Player of the Week for the Premier League.
Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa midfielder, clinched the award by a fans’ vote.
Rogers continued his fine form for the Villans, scoring the two goals that beat Manchester United 2-1.
He has been delivering standout performances and is the first Villa player to score two or more goals in two consecutive league games since Dion Dublin in 1998.
Rogers edged Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Leeds United forward, by a slim margin of 2% in votes, 29% to 27%.
Erling Haaland, Manchester City forward, finished third with 19%, followed by Reece James of Chelsea at 12%, Nick Foltamide of Newcastle at 5%, Kenny Botter of Brentford at 4%, Dan Ballard of Sunderland at 2%, and Anton Staak of Leeds at 2%.
Voting Breakdown
Punchline: If Rogers keeps this up, Villa might need a bigger trophy cabinet for all those braces.
Punchline: The net now knows his name—Rogers is officially aiming for the back of the net and the headlines alike.
