Morgan Rogers jokes about Cole Palmer’s MOTM award
Rogers playfully reacts after Carabao Cup: he calls his 4 assists “criminal” while noting Palmer scored a penalty.
Morgan Rogers drew attention after a Carabao Cup game where Cole Palmer received the MOTM (Man of the Match) award instead of him, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
Joke over MOTM
Rogers made it clear—without pulling punches—that he felt the decision should have gone differently. “Mate I got 4 ASSISTS that’s criminal, he scored a pen,” he said, highlighting his output and pointing out that Palmer found the net from the spot.
The piece also stresses the bigger picture of the match. Rogers’ own words connect his performance to the turnaround: “Morgan Rogers changed the game and made the comeback in Carabao Cup against Leeds possible.” In other words, he frames his influence as part of why the comeback against Leeds happened.
So while Palmer took the individual award, Rogers’ message is that his assist tally—and the way the game swung—also defined the night.
