According to a report by Football London on Tuesday November 3, 2026, in Saturday's 1-0 win over Manchester United, Chelsea's Morgan Rogers scored the game-winning goal with a superb solo effort that showcased his technical prowess and self-assurance.
Manchester United's defensive woes didn't deter the England international, who calmly dribbled into the penalty area and lifted the ball delicately beyond goalkeeper Senne Lammens to break the deadlock.
This goal brought Rogers' total for the season to six in all competitions. He also had four assists. Since joining Chelsea from Aston Villa, he has made a remarkable start, justifying the club's record-breaking £117 million investment.
On Monday Nite Football, Jamie Carragher and Seamus Coleman, a former Everton defender, talked about how Rogers played. In particular, Coleman brought attention to the fact that the Chelsea attacker is very similar to Dele Alli, a former Tottenham midfielder.
Every one of Rogers' five goals in the Premier League have come from slightly off-center locations, typically ranging from six to twenty yards out. Having said that, his finishes have shown a lot of variation.
Though they start from the same place, the goals are executed very differently, as Carragher explained. "The quality of the player is shown by every goal he's getting," he stated.
A left-footed shot against Hull, a right-footed volley against Arsenal, and his magnificent solo goal against Manchester United—a display of his dribbling skills and finishing composure—are all examples of his finishes.
Because of his cunning exploration of potentially hazardous areas, Rogers poses a significant threat to defenders, according to Coleman. The ex-Everton captain said he was similar to Dele Alli in that he frequently made attacking runs.
To stop Rogers from taking advantage of gaps between them, he said, full-backs and right-sided center-backs need to communicate well. In reference to a run that Alli made while playing for Tottenham, Coleman remarked, "He reminds me of that run I used to defend."
Those who followed Chelsea in January 2017 will never forget Alli's incredible brace that ended the Blues' 13-game winning streak at home against Tottenham. Rogers is currently taking advantage of comparable defensive gaps.
