Ollie Watkins

[LeeB]

He's a one man front two

[Percy McCarthy]

I wish he’d bang two or three in. Saturday please Ollie.

[Matt C]

He was brilliant again and a word for his excellent defending at the end, getting himself in front of the Leicester player saved the day. Thankfully VAR saw it too.

[Risso]

Did the ref send him off as well before checking VAR?

From the highlights I’ve seen it’s not possible to tell what colour the card was. But the reaction immediately from Ollie and Mings suggested it was red. I get refs make mistakes due to their vantage point and that’s what VAR helps clean up. But that was a terrible series of decisions from the ref and assistants thankfully corrected.

It must have been a red then, otherwise he’d still have a yellow, as they don’t get overturned by VAR.

The ref cancelled the yellow after making the little box sign thing, he had the card in his hand. I think they can cancel a booking if the foul that triggered it is cancelled. It was brilliant determination from Ollie to protect the lead.

I think yellows do get overturned if reviewed as part of another incident being reviewed by VAR.
Pretty sure I’ve seen that happen before.

It’s just yellow cards themselves can’t be reviewed it it’s for a players first booking

[Villan82]

Has crept ahead of Darius Vassell  into 10th in our premier league all-time top scorers list. One behind Carew, two behind Saunders and three behind Joachim. He's not yet had three full seasons for us.

For me, he's become a proper Aston Villa main man

[Risso]

Fair enough. It was a shocking few minutes of refereeing, anyway.

He was onto that ball like a young Mick Quinn when the ball broke free. Love to see it.

[Deano's Mullet]

11 league goals with 9 games to go. I’d like to think he’ll get 15 at least.

[Nunkin1965]

What a goal by Ollie and what a pass by Doug and what a through ball by Emi.
Absolutely brilliant.

[brontebilly]

New contract please...brilliant goal and was the only one who kept his head in that melee at the end.

[darren woolley]

Brilliant goal by Ollie he's on fire.
