Surprised he didn't go to another team when he realised Toney wasn't starting.

He probably wanted to see how good Toney looked on the bench 😉

Well done Ollie. One more to equal Benteke. Two to get to the landmark 20 goal barrier.

Come on Ollie.

There are 15 games left and Watkins wants to score in every one. He said it himself in an interview after the Sheffield Utd game.

It's 11 goals so far.

I think he'll end up with 21 to 22 Prem goals.
There are 6 games left and he is on 18 goals.
Faith.

24 goals in all comps, what a player. Is that the first time someone’s beat Angel’s 23? Still (at least) 8 games left.

The header looked simple enough today but to get as high as he did to win that between two defenders was hugely impressive.

Yorke got 25 in 1996.  How many Benteke get in his first year..... I know he got 19 in the league

As well as hitting the back of the net (twice), Ollie hit the nail on the head:

“It is one point but it should have been three,” he said. “These are the games we need to be winning – that’s what the top teams do. They finish it off, kill it off.

“We lacked that big-team mentality where they kill games off, which is really disappointing. Maybe we just don’t have that maturity or game intelligence yet.”

And guess which four words from the quote BBC Sport used for their headline.

Yep.

To the point I was wondering if he'd actually said it.

Now on 18 PL goals, 10 assists, what an impressive player he has become. Hopefully a few more before the season ends.

He has raised his game to a level I wasn't sure he could reach. Emery constantly talks about his willingness to learn, his hard work and eagerness to improve. His mentality seems to be spot on.

Fantastic stuff Ollie.
