Footage from the stands not picked up by the Sky Sports cameras showed that Rogers did not want to patch things up.
Rice spoke to Rogers when they were close together during the game and looked as if he was offering an explanation and trying to smooth things over.
However, Rogers was having absolutely none of it, animatedly putting his hands out and eventually wandering back into position as Rice still tried to talk to him.
Not too long after, Rogers was substituted and replaced by Danny Welbeck in the 87th minute and taunted by the Arsenal supporters.
As he walked on the touchline, the former Aston Villa forward was met with chants of, "You should have signed for a big club" and proceeded to smile at the song.
On commentary, Gary Neville was stunned by Rice getting away with his challenge on Rogers, saying, "I can't believe the referee hasn't seen it".

"Morgan Rogers made a great run through the middle and was tracked by Declan Rice – who clearly tripped him," Halsey said, speaking to The Sun.
"It was unseen by referee Chris Kavanagh and Morgan Rogers wasn’t happy.
"He went for Declan Rice and ended up getting a yellow card for adopting an aggressive attitude towards Rice. Declan Rice should have got the yellow card in the first place, which went unseen.
"Unfortunately, VAR cannot get involved in cautionary offenses, but you would have thought the assistant on that side may have seen it and may have helped him.
"It was unfortunate that Rogers got the yellow card, but with the aggressive attitude towards Rice, that’s the way it is."
