Video: Morgan Rogers scores solo stunner to put Chelsea 1-0 up vs Manchester United

Morgan Rogers has opened the scoring in today’s big Premier League clash between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

The England international has been superb for Chelsea since his summer transfer from Aston Villa, and he showed his quality again this afternoon with a lovely solo effort.

Taking on the entire Man Utd defence by himself, Rogers ran through before calmly chipping the ball in to make it 1-0 to Chelsea.

Chelsea weren’t at their best in the first half, but this was a dream start to the second period as Rogers struck in the 50th minute.

It will be intriguing to see how United can respond to this after mostly dominating in terms of clear cut chances in that wasteful opening 45 minutes.

Morgan Rogers the difference-maker for Chelsea

Rogers was signed by Chelsea for precisely this reason – the ability to conjure up something out of nothing in a big game.

Contrast that to United, who don’t really have a reliable goal-scorer in their team right now, with striker Benjamin Sesko out with a long-term injury, while the likes of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo aren’t really consistent enough.

Chelsea spent a lot of money on Rogers, but goals like this are a reminder of why he was considered such hot property on the transfer market before moving from Villa Park to Stamford Bridge.
