"Yeah and a lot more," he said. "He is a really class player."
Rosenborg took the lead early in the first half before Edouard and countryman Olivier Ntcham responded for the hosts. Edouard gave Celtic breathing space for the return leg next week when he made it 3-1 in the 75th minute.
"The first goal looked so simple but you see his movement to create the space and he just passed it in," said Rodgers.
"The second goal, he times his run perfectly and a mark of the top striker, to have that confidence on the big occasion, to show that calmness under pressure, was brilliant."
Celtic would face Greek side AEK Athens in the next round of qualifying if they get past the Norwegians.
