All the pre-match chat had surrounded the futures of Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran, but it was Morgan Rogers – an £8million signing from Middlesbrough this time last year – who stole the show and fired Aston Villa into the last 16 of the Champions League.

Morgan Rogers hit a hat-trick and Ollie Watkins showed exactly why Arsenal want to sign him as Aston Villa went through to the last 16 of the Champions League after a 4-2 win over Celtic.

At a time when Aston Villa's strikers are in high demand, another of the team's attackers now has a Champions League scoring feat for which Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Erling Haaland would be proud.
