Villa’s Kamara Outshines Rogers with Dominant Midfield Display vs Man City

Aston Villa continued their strong run of form with an impressive 2-1 victory over Manchester City, moving them closer to the Champions League spots in the Premier League table. While Morgan Rogers shone once again in attack, it was Boubacar Kamara who truly dominated the midfield and proved crucial to Villa’s success.

Rogers started on the left wing and caused problems for City’s defense throughout the match. He completed 3 of 5 dribble attempts, made 2 key passes, created a big chance, and took 4 shots. The young attacker provided the assist for Villa’s opener and later scored their second goal to secure the win.

However, it was Kamara’s commanding performance in the center of the pitch that allowed Villa to control the game. The French midfielder took 69 touches, completed 90% of his passes, and delivered an accurate long ball. Defensively, he won 7 of 11 ground duels, made 6 tackles, and lost possession just 6 times over the full 90 minutes.

Kamara’s tenacity and control in midfield were vital to Villa securing all three points. His partnership with Amadou Onana has been impressive since returning from injury, with journalist Jacob Tanswell praising their “strong” display against City.

While Rogers provided the attacking flair, it was Kamara’s dominant midfield performance that truly set the foundation for Villa’s statement victory over the reigning Premier League champions. The Frenchman’s all-around display showcased why he has become such a key figure in Unai Emery’s resurgent Villa side challenging for Champions League qualification.
