Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey praised for the most mature response to Marcus Rashford joining Aston Villa in post-match interview

Aston Villa duo Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey received huge praise for they in which they answered a question about Marcus Rashford following the FA Cup win over Spurs.

Ramsey opened the scoring just a minute into the FA Cup fourth round following a slaloming run from Rogers, who scored Villa's second in the second half.

Mathys Tel bagged a late consolation on his full Spurs debut but Villa held on for a victory which puts them into the fifth round of the competition.

Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio, both on loan until the end of the season, made their Villa debuts in the second half and clearly had a point to prove with how they performed in the cameo.

During a joint post-match interview with the BBC, Rogers and Ramsey were asked about Rashford and other new recruits like Asensio and Donyell Malen - but impressed with their mature responses.

"This is one of the best squads that we've had... the squad depth is unbelievable," Ramsey commented.

"You look at the bench tonight, all the experience - Rashford coming on, Malen starting and Asensio coming on. The squad depth is unbelievable and the starting players have got to raise their game now because the players coming on are a big threat.

Asked if the new players are pushing him on to reach new heights, Rogers added: "We want to take what we can from the experienced players in the squad. Us two, just starting out, it's good to take what they've done and use it to our advantage. It's massive to have people like that in the door and it just drives everyone on."

Pundits in the studio for BBC admired the way in which the duo spoke, with Jermain Defoe saying their reactions will be "music to [Unai] Emery's ears".

Into the round of 16 in the Champions League, Villa are eighth in the Premier League on 37 points - six behind Chelsea in fourth.

Villa return to action on Saturday when they host Ipswich Town in what could be Rashford's Premier League debut in claret and blue.
