Aston Villa<\/a> came from behind to beat Leeds United<\/a> 2-1 in a lively Premier League<\/a> encounter at Elland Road on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lukas Nmecha gave the hosts the lead in the eighth minute after an excellent Sean Longstaff set-piece delivery caused havoc inside the Villa box. Emi Martinez failed to claim the ball, with Ezri Konsa’s clearance hitting Nmecha and going into the back of the net — a two-and-a-half-minute VAR check eventually showing there was no infringement amid the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bright Leeds performance took them in ahead at half time, but it took just three minutes for Villa to pull level after the break, Morgan Rogers getting in front of the Leeds defence at the near post to divert home a cross from the recently-introduced Donyell Malen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides huffed and puffed, but just when it looked like the game was about to fade out into a draw, Rogers struck again in the 76th minute with an incredibly executed free-kick that completely fooled Leeds goalkeeper Lucas Perri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgan Rogers is the first Aston Villa player to score a brace at Elland Road in the Premier League since Gareth Southgate in January 2000. ?#LEEAVL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/XQ97pGlgnI<\/a><\/p>— Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) November 23, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>
