IT'S WAT 'N WILD NIGHT

Ollie pen heii as Rogers treble seals top 8

- NEIL MOXLEY

MORGAN ROGERS has enjoyed some 12 months. Last night, his remarkable year included a Champions League hat-trick on a crazy night at Villa Park.

His treble helped Villa avoid a play-off game after a night that Unai Emery's men spent on a knife-edge.

These occasions can sometimes fail to live up to the hype. This didn't.

Two Villa goals in the opening five minutes set the tone. Celtic hit back with a quick-fire double of their own before the break.

Ollie Watkins poked Villa's noses in front on the hour. And then, given a heaven-sent opportunity to settle the game, sent a penalty into the heavens.

Nerves? Frayed. However, after five minutes there was little evidence of the drama to come.
