Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers paid tribute to Chelsea star Cole Palmer by performing his signature ‘cold’ celebration after scoring Villa’s second goal against Manchester City.

Rogers and Palmer, both products of the Manchester City academy, have shown their former club what they are missing since moving on. Rogers, now thriving at Villa, was the original inspiration behind Palmer’s iconic celebration, and their performances highlight the Citizens’ questionable decision to let them leave.

The result has significant implications for Chelsea. Following Aston Villa’s win, the Blues now sits seven points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League table with a game in hand, further strengthening their position as title contenders.

Chelsea’s decision to invest in Palmer has proven astute, as the young star continues to shine, with moments like this celebration underscoring the bond between him and fellow City graduate Rogers.
