Palmer and Foden scored, but Morgan Rogers has to start for England at the World Cup.
While Phil Foden and Cole Palmer played key roles in wins for Manchester City and Chelsea, it was Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers who really stood out. He scored twice to inspire Villa’s comeback win over West Ham, showing his quality in the number 10 role.
Rogers’ performance strengthened his case to start for Thomas Tuchel’s England at the World Cup, despite competition from Foden, Palmer and Jude Bellingham, with pundits saying Rogers should be first choice.
