Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers Condemns Sunderland's Social Media Post on Dangerous Tackle

Morgan Rogers, the Aston Villa forward, has publicly criticized Sunderland for sharing a video on social media that appeared to celebrate a dangerous tackle he suffered during their recent 1-1 Premier League draw. The tackle by Sunderland's Trai Hume was seen as reckless and arguably deserved a card, but it went unpunished during the match, which further frustrated Rogers and his team. Sunderland's social media post captioned "Still got the ball" was met with condemnation from Rogers, who reposted it calling out the promotion of dangerous tackles with a sarcastic tone. The match also saw Sunderland's Reinildo sent off for violent conduct, but despite playing with ten men, Sunderland secured a late equalizer. Rogers is enduring a difficult start to the season and has been under pressure for his performances, with Villa yet to secure a Premier League win this term. His criticism of the social media post could potentially lead to disciplinary action from the FA due to the organization's stance on players publicly criticizing officiating and related matters.
