Aston Villa fans react to Ollie Watkins display vs Arsenal

Aston Villa picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Arsenal in the Premier League yesterday.

Ollie Watkins scored the only goal of the game after just 74 seconds to hand Dean Smith’s side a vital win at home.

The win takes Aston Villa up to 8th in the Premier League table with 35 points from 21 matches.

Smith will be thoroughly impressed with the 25-year-old striker’s performance against the Gunners.

Villa needed a quality striker after their goal scoring problems last season and Watkins has been outstanding since his move from Brentford.
