Premier League high-flyers Aston Villa knocked Tottenham Hotspurs out of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win in the fourth round of the cup competition on Sunday as Jacob Ramsey and Morgan Rogers netted for the Villans, while Spurs got their consolation from Mathys Tel. Villa goal scorer Rogers credited the win to head coach Unai Emery’s efforts and work that laid the foundation for the triumph. “This week, the manager hit a reset button in terms of new players in,” Rogers revealed. Villa went ahead in the very first minute of the game as Ramsey put his team ahead before Rogers doubled their lead in the second half. “It’s from now until the end of the season, that last big push. That started with today, and that start. I thought we were outstanding, especially that first half,” the Englishman said. “We took it to them, with the intensity, the aggression, everything about the way we were was really good,” the 22-year-old said. “Probably could have done with another goal, but in terms of that energy, it was really good, and it really set us on the right foot.” “It got the crowd involved as well, and that’s the most important thing when we’re here. I thought we started really well,” the forward added. Villa made big moves in the winter transfer window as they made five signings to their name in order to push for the UEFA Champions League spot for the upcoming season, after having sealed their berth in the Round of 16 of the revamped edition of the elite European competition in the ongoing campaign by finishing the group stage in eighth place. Rogers lauded the efforts of the team in reinforcing the unit and hoped that the new recruits can boost the side in the final phase of the competitive season. “It helps with the quality of signings we brought in this week,” Rogers stated. “They’ve given everyone a massive lift, just with the calibre and quality they possess, and the levels we’re trying to reach, that’s massive for us and where we want to go,” he added. “The squad now is looking really strong, and hopefully now we can get a few of the injured players back,” the English forward continued. “For me, it’s a massive buzz. This week has just been that bit different. We were looking forward to this game and we wanted to put in a performance, and we did,” Rogers concluded.
