Palmer & Foden on target - but Rogers 'has to start' at World Cup
Manchester City's Phil Foden and Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers shined in weekend Premier League victories, with Rogers impressing as England's number 10 pick. Rogers' two crucial goals led Villa to their ninth straight win, solidifying his World Cup starter status despite competition from Foden, Cole Palmer, and Jude Bellingham. Former England forward Theo Walcott praised Rogers' performance, asserting his certainty as a key player in next summer's World Cup lineup.
