FT: Arsenal 4-1 Aston Villa<\/p>\n

\"\"Aston Villa<\/a><\/p>\n

Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers speaking to Sky Sports: “It got difficult because they are such a good team. They are where they are in the league for a reason. They are relentless and they just keep going. I thought we were really good in the first half, we were really proud of how we played. On another day we might’ve created one more clear-cut chance to maybe go in front, but they were really solid and really good. In the second half, they just kept the pressure on and it’s really tough to come to a place like this. We knew we would have to ride our luck but they were just too clinical – sometimes that happens.<\/p>\n

“Nothing really changed on either side in the second half, but once you get that opening goal then the momentum comes with it. When you’re 1-0 up then you get more confidence and play more freely, that’s definitely what happened for them. When the goals started coming thick and fast, you knew it was done.<\/p>\n

“It’s nothing bad to lose 4-1 to the best team in the league at the moment. We just have to dust ourselves down and be proud of the winning run we’ve been on.”<\/p>\n

On Mikel Merino’s challenge on him while being on a booking: “I have my own opinion, but so does everyone else. That’s just the way football is, some decisions go your way and some don’t. The decision might be disappointing on our side, but there are probably other games where other teams are disappointed when we get decisions.<\/p>\n

“I always have my own opinion, sometimes it might be right and sometimes it might be delusional. The better team won today, so there can be no arguments.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘The better team won, no arguments’published at 22:48 GMT 22:48 GMT FT: Arsenal 4-1 Aston Villa Aston Villa…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378691,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-378690","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
