Aston Villa boss Emery: Rogers fine about substitution

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says Morgan Rogers is fine after their win at Luton.

A first-half substitute, Rogers was taken off in the second-half by Emery.

He later explained, “Very good because his adaptation is going ahead and today he had minutes, taking experiences with us.

"I decided this because he played more than 45 minutes ad he did very good work. I decided tactically to change him, but this is normal. I did something similar in Liverpool.

"I changed Leon Bailey after he came on as a substitute. It is a tactical decision."
