Rogers insists Palmer copied his cold pose

Aston Villa youngster Morgan Rogers has reiterated that team-mate Cole Palmer has now become his signature ‘freezing’ goal celebration.

Supporters are so used to seeing Palmer score a goal. And then instantly rub his arm as if he’s feeling chilly,

so when Rogers scored for Villa last season and celebrated in the same manner. He was accused of copying the Chelsea star.

Following Villa’s shock 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Rogers was keen to make amends.

Asked if it was true that Palmer had stolen his celebration, Rogers told ufabet http://ufabet999.app Sport : “Yeah, it is.”

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand then gave his good friend some advice: “He (Palmer) can do it too. You let him do it. You’ve got to start scoring goals then!”

Despite the celebrations, Rogers felt Palmer’s incredible record of 31 goals in 53 games for Chelsea in all competitions meant he could credit it as his own achievement.

“I’ll leave him to it,” Rogers said.

“He’s scored 40 goals or something stupid like that, but we can’t really argue with that, can we?”

The pair are close friends, having played together in the youth systems at Manchester City before Palmer moved to Chelsea in 2023 while Rogers moved to Middlesbrough.
