The England international bagged the winner 14 minutes from time to cap a swift turnaround as Villa celebrated their 150th anniversary with a first Cup home win since 2016.

Lucas Paqueta’s ninth minute strike had looked set to spoil the party before Onana and Rogers struck in five second half minutes.

The 2-1 win was just Villa’s third FA Cup victory since reaching the 2015 final and speaking after the match, Rogers said: "Why can't we win it? Anything can happen in a cup competition. You don't know who you'll draw, where you'll play.

"We know we can come back against anyone. We'll look to rectify the start of games, but we're happy with the way we've finished them.”
