End product vs Liverpool

Rogers made his shots count. He took just one attempt, hit the target and scored, converting from an xG of 0.0456 and an xGOT of 0.2518. Add one assist, two big chances created and four key passes, and you get the headline impact.

The numbers show a player choosing his moments well. His expected assists figure was 0.2608, but the quality of his final ball and shot selection did the rest.

Creative supply in the final third

With 31 total passes and 21 accurate, Rogers kept things simple and forward. He completed 16 of 23 passes in Liverpool’s half and attempted three crosses. That blend of safe circulation and risk in advanced areas underpinned Villa’s attacking flow.

Four key passes led the team’s creative spark from open play. For a match that needed precision rather than volume, his distribution hit the right notes.

Carrying threat and territory gained

Off-ball work at Villa Park
