Morgan Rogers: Is England call-up next for Aston Villa midfielder?
Speaking after that game, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp said Rogers was “the outstanding midfield player by a long way” and compared his powerful running to that of a New Zealand rugby union legend.
“Not many players of his size possess that amount of skill, pace and power and it’s so difficult to stop,” said ex-Liverpool and England midfielder Redknapp.
“He was unplayable. Sometimes when he picked the ball up and was brushing people away, it was like watching Jonah Lomu in his prime. He was that powerful.
“Lee Carsley will have to be looking at him, surely. I’m not saying he’s going to get into the England team all of a sudden, but there were so many parts of his game which were a joy to watch.
“Jude Bellingham is our standout number 10 but there are parts of what Bellingham does that we all admire that Rogers was doing.
“Bellingham’s goals are such an important factor of his game and that is what Rogers is going to have to add.”

Boxing: Conor Benn pushes Chris Eubank Jr in Saudi Arabia altercation
Conor Benn launched a foul-mouthed tirade at Chris Eubank Jr and pushed his fellow Briton in the chest during an altercation in Saudi Arabia.
The pair were set to meet in October 2022 – 30 years after their fathers Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr fought – but the bout was cancelled after Benn failed two voluntary doping tests.
Eubank Jr takes on Poland’s Kamil Szeremeta on Saturday in Riyadh. The 35-year-old came face-to-face with Benn, 28, on Friday.
“You’re lucky you’re fighting tomorrow,” Benn told Eubank Jr before taking off his sunglasses and stepping closer to his rival.
“I’ll see you tomorrow after the fight. I’ll get in that ring and give it to you.”
Benn continued with the foul language, warning a member of security – who placed his arm between the boxers – to take his hand away.
A smiling Eubank said: “It’s OK, let him come close, I like this energy,” before being shoved in the chest by Benn.
Eubank Jr labelled him “a kid”, with Benn then accusing him of arrogance.

Cricket great Derek ‘Deadly’ Underwood left family more than £800,000 in his will
CRICKET great Derek Underwood left more than £800,000 in his will, probate documents reveal.
England’s most successful spinner — nicknamed Deadly — bequeathed the money to his family.
The star, who died in April aged 78, left £826,000, reduced to £823,000 after debts and costs were deducted.
Wife Patricia Cheeseman was given £50,000 in cash, as well as his home and car.
The remainder was given to his daughters, Fiona and Heather, from his marriage to first wife Dawn Sullivan.
Left-armer Derek took 297 wickets in 86 Tests between 1966 and 1982.
Before the use of covers Underwood was considered unplayable on wet pitches and inspired England to a famous win over Australia at The Oval after the crowd helped mop up the field.
Placid on and off the field, he was known as an unlikely ladies man.
Kent and England team-mate Brian Luckhurst joked that Derek was the only man his wife would leave him for.
Sir Geoffrey Boycott said of his friend: “I don’t know anybody that could play him or hit him after it had rained on those pitches.
“Derek was a one-off, brilliant, extraordinary bowler – unique. There was nobody else like him in English cricket.”
Flags flew at half-mast at grounds across the country to salute the left-armer who, although a spinner, bowled at speeds above 70 miles per hour.
SPIN KING
DEREK Underwood is a legendary figure in cricket thanks to his exploits with England and Kent.
The spinner earned the nickname ‘Deadly’ thanks to the havoc he used to wreak on wet pitches.
There was even a saying that England would carry Underwood “like an umbrella in case of rain”.
Although he was listed as a slow left-armer, he often bowled at medium pace with unerring accuracy and boasted a lethal inswinging arm ball.
Underwood took 296 wickets in 86 Tests for England and was ranked the world’s No1 bowler from September 1969 to August 1973.
He retired in 1987 at the age of 42 having taken almost 2,500 wickets.
Appointed as an MBE in 1981, Wisden named him in a XI of England’s greatest post-war cricketers in 2004.
Underwood was one of six English cricketers to feature in World Series Cricket and also went on the rebel tour of South Africa.

Aaron Rodgers: ‘Sacked Robert Saleh not the main issue for New York Jets’
Former Buffalo Bills assistant coach Phoebe Schecter is an NFL pundit and plays for Great Britain’s flag football team.
Robert Saleh became the first NFL head coach to lose their job this season as he was fired by the New York Jets after last Sunday’s loss in London, and I was surprised that it happened so early.
It’s not like they have a terrible record. They’re 2-3 and going into Monday Night Football against Buffalo, their divisional rivals. They could be playing for first in their division, so it felt a bit abrupt really but, ultimately, I don’t think Saleh was the issue.
When you bring in a quarterback like four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers – one of the biggest names in the sport – you’re bringing in much more than just a player. He almost becomes his own offensive coordinator, right? That’s not necessarily an easy relationship for a head coach and quarterback to have, and there were signs of murkiness in the water between Saleh and Rodgers.
Rodgers had a really good game against the Patriots three weeks ago but there was that moment when Saleh went to hug him and Rodgers pushed him away. Then after losing to Denver, they both talked about cadence issues and people being held accountable. Those were signs it was going this way but coming this soon, I think it’s unfortunate on Saleh.
The Jets have made [defensive coordinator] Jeff Ulbrich the interim head coach and he said [quarterbacks coach] Todd Downing will become the offensive play-caller.
He’s essentially demoted [offensive coordinator] Nathaniel Hackett, which I think is what Saleh wanted to do before he was fired. But Saleh, a defensive-minded head coach, had lost that power on the offensive side of the ball and I don’t feel like Rodgers would have been making that a nice environment for him.
I think it’s really telling that as soon as Ulbrich gets into the role, he demotes Hackett. Ulbrich’s been there, he’s seen what’s going on, he’s been in all the team meetings, so he’s going to know what the issue is.

Aline Pereira delivers ‘Pereira left hook’ KO at Karate Combat 50
Aline Pereira had a pretty good teacher.
Pereira, the sister of UFC champion Alex Pereira, knocked out Dee Begley in the first round at Karate Combat 50 at the Salt Palace Convention Center on Friday night in Salt Lake City, Utah.
“That’s the Pereira left hook. My big brother’s the one that showed me,” Aline Pereira said during post-fight interview.
Aline Pereira, who was making her Karate Combat debut, took the fight despite the fact her opponent Begley missed weight by four pounds.
Alex Pereira, who received a hug from his sister after her win, is coming off a devastating performance of his own when he retained his light heavyweight title with a fourth-round TKO of Khalil Rountree at UFC 307 last Saturday night.
