Yep no penalty for me, if he’d gone down like a sack of spuds he may have got it but the triple salchow he went for made it look dodgy.

It worries me you use the same motorway network as me with those eyes in desperate need of glasses!

You can see why players act like they've been shot by a sniper when you don't make a deal of it and then neither ref or VAR give you anything. We can be a bit too nice/naive at times.

Now has 25 in all comps this season, puts him top alongside Yorke in the Premier League era.

His Prem record v Arsenal is 4 goals in 7 games

One more league goal this sees him score 19 goals- the last striker to score that many was by Benteke over 10 years ago back in 2012/13

Away form
Watkins last 4 away games: 5 goals, 2 assists!

I very much hope Watkins wins the golden boot!

With 6 games and the need to win have to see him aiming to be scoring at least 3 or 4 more goals.

Last season Haaland top goalscorer with 36 but the 3 seasons previous.  23, 23 and 22 were enough to be leading goal getter.

As it stands.
Haaland 19
Watkins 18
Salah 17
Solanke and Palmer 16
Isak, Son and Bowen 15

Watkins is the only one who doesn't take penalties. Villa have 4 penalties this season.
If he was on penalties and scoring he would top the board and be on 22 goals!

Come on Ollie!

We tried him on penalties and he wasn't very good with them.

Just think, if he was our penalty taker he'd be on 18 goals. ;)

Agreed. I could see it was a definite pen from the North Stand.

It’s one of the most clear cut penalties I’ve seen.

It was clear as day from my seat. Awful decision, in any era.
