Emery said Rogers is Villa's "protagonist" who is a "fighter" and is getting rewards on the pitch for his efforts. "He started the season not getting numbers but doing well, always showing his attitude and he scored goals." Rogers is Villa's top scorer in the Premier League with seven goals, including four in his last two matches. In fact, he became the first Villa player to score two goals or more in back-to-back Premier League appearances since Dion Dublin in November 1998. He runs with the ball well and he's scoring some great goals," Rooney said.
