Villa star Rogers is so KEANE on Gazza comparison

The Aston Villa star was given the chance to impress in the No. 10 role for the World Cup qualifier against Serbia in Belgrade and passed the audition with a marauding display in a 5-0 victory.

He set up Noni Madueke's goal with a deft flick and his ability to beat players saw ITV pundit Roy Keane liken him to Gascoigne.

The 23-year-old knows the ability to create something out of nothing is a commodity that could send him to the World Cup.

"That's some compliment, especially coming from him and who he's comparing me to," Rogers said of Keane's comment.

"To hear that from legends of the game is a nice feeling and a nice moment.

"I've got to keep my feet on the ground, keep level headed and go again, because I want to get better and improve.

"I've seen clips of him (Gascoigne). Iconic player and one that you watch clips of in the archive.
