A hat trick from England striker Ollie Watkins fired Aston Villa to a sensational 6-1 thrashing of high-flying Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.
Brighton travelled to the Midlands having only lost once in the league all season, but they were put to the sword by a rampant Villa side in the first half, with a Watkins double and a Pervis Estupiñan own goal catapulting the hosts into a 3-0 lead by half time.
