According to a report by Football London on Monday November 2, 2026, Morgan Rogers had a fantastic game for Chelsea on Saturday, setting up the game-winning goal that gave them a crucial victory over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
The player calmly made his way through United's defense and midfield before burying a left-footed shot past Senne Lammens. The goal was his sixth for Chelsea, and it came after Joao Pedro had urged him to work on finishing like that.
Rogers' debut for Chelsea has been spectacular so far, with ten goals in twelve games. Even though Mason Mount only made 80 appearances for Manchester United, he has already tied Mount's goal contribution total.
Cole Palmer, a close friend of Rogers', Joao Pedro, an experienced forward, and Danny Welbeck, who has allegedly been instrumental in his development, are all talented teammates.
Some Chelsea fans were taken aback by Welbeck's summer transfer arrival. Along with goalkeeper Emi Martinez and former England international Jordan Henderson, the club purposefully bolstered its roster with experience.
Owen Hargreaves, a former United midfielder, shared an intriguing conversation he had with Welbeck off camera regarding Rogers' progress after Chelsea's 2-0 win over Manchester United.
At a really good United team, Welbz was emerging as a player, and we all had players like that, Hargreaves said. Impressive instructor; great listener. Along with Morgan Rogers, he was merely strolling through.
"I told him what a great mentor he is," he continued, describing Welbeck's dedication to helping the young midfielder. "I am on him, I am on him to be better because he's such a talent," he declared. Wow, I had no idea he was that tall!
Thanks to Rogers's play, it's even more clear that Chelsea nabbed a steal by stealing him from Arsenal. Many were convinced after seeing his performances, even though others questioned Chelsea's European participation and the transfer fee.
Among the Premier League players rated by FotMob this season, Rogers is ranked fourth, just behind Declan Rice, Joao Pedro, and Erling Haaland. He has adjusted very well to life at Chelsea, earning the highest summer signing rating in the division at 7.72.
