Ollie Watkins

[Somniloquism]

The first challenge, Watkins does trip himself before the defender then catches him. Whether there was a slight touch on the one leg to cause the trip is hard to see but I can see why the ref waved play on.

The defender tripped him first, then grappled, then finally scissor tackled him. Play on.

For Villa Watkins has scored at least one Premier League goal against 18/20 of current Premier League clubs.

The two clubs he is yet to score against in the league for Villa are the next two fixtures in the league!
Newly Promoted Ipswich who he has never faced for Villa.
Man Utd played 8 times in the league and never scored.

Watkins has scored once against both in his career though.
Ipswich: for Brentford in the championship (1)
Man Utd: for Villa in the league cup (1)

Just an update and reminder of record v all Premier League Clubs
Scored against Ipswich so that's 19/20 teams

Scoring Vs Man Utd on Sunday will complete the set!

Don't think so. Was always that bell-end Maupay who scored against us for Brentford I think.

He'll have shanked a few into the stands to nourish his brand.

Oh just the 4 times in  5 matches!!
Last season Watkins scored 3 times v Brentford
Remember the late headed winner away against Brentford last season!?
And 2 headers at Villa Park in the 3-3 including the equaliser!

I think you missed the bold bit.

I realised and removed post.
I misunderstood.

Either way, nope Watkins never scored against us, 3 games 1 assist - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ollie-watkins/bilanzdetails/spieler/324358/gegner/405

Then he won’t be scoring against all 20 clubs then

You'll miss him when he's gone and it feels like the words to a song.

Watkins getting the recognition.
Nominated for Premier League Player of the Month for September.

Only Palmer got more goal involvements than the five of Watkins, who scored or assisted in each of Villa's three matches. He inspired a 3-2 turnaround win over Everton with two goals, before kick-starting another comeback victory with the equaliser in a 3-1 win over Wolves. Watkins ended the month with a goal and an assist in a 2-2 draw at Ipswich Town.

Well I mean that in the Prem Watkins has scored against every club now for Villa apart from Man Utd...

[cdbearsfan]

He still could. 😕

[Footy-Vill]

I think everyone missing the point.
Watkins scoring against every club is a fantastic achievement
He's also nominated for Player of the Month for September.
Also still not sure if he's stepping up to take penalties.
I thinking he be looking to get 20+ league goals
And 30 in total all comps
Even with reduced minutes and any impact of Duran
