Ollie Watkins

[Exeter 77]

Is that his first ever goal for us from outside the box? Fantastic goal, what a way to celebrate his 250th appearance.

2nd. The other was the lob at Chelsea a couple of seasons ago.

Cracking goal!

[usav]

I guess his knee is better now……

[Toronto Villa]

Outrageous goal by Ollie. I can’t recall the last time he scored one like that or just a goal from outside the box.

[Brend'Watkins]

His 6 yard sitter misses must be up there

So was his goal.

Ollie in a nutshell, miss a sitter then score a near worldy.

[Smirker]

Good goal 

[Olof's Beard]

And suddenly only seven players have scored more than him in the league this season, and he is only one goal behind four of them.

Take away goals from penalties, and only three players have scored more.

And if you take away those three players, none have scored more 

[Mellin]

Taking away penalties is definitely a legitimate argument. Was El Ghazi, as much as I love the man, getting to 10 Premier League goals in a season without them? Would anyone want to spend 70m on a striker who had scored 25 goals, but 20 were penalties?

I'm pretty shocked at there only being three players, but he has started motoring recently and that is a high return.

That was the only one I was thinking about but wasn't 100% sure.

[Sexual Ealing]

He should take a chance on a hit more often. There was something a bit Savo about it, and I liked that.

He's now joined the 'Aston Villa 2025/26 Roy of the Rovers Club'. Who's left from our squad yet to sign up?

[Ian.]

It was a bit Savo, it was a lovey strike. Three bloody ace goals today.

[Pat McMahon]

Cheers for that. We were wracking our brains in the Aston social and couldn’t remember another one  I haven’t seen it back yet but thought the keeper should have done better, though it may simply have been the pace of the strike. Given that shot today he should try his luck more often.

[Mellin]

Love the Savo comparison.
