Ollie Watkins celebrates goal

Villa striker Ollie Watkins speaking to TNT Sports on his goal: "I thought it was close, I didn't celebrate because I thought it was tight. You never know with VAR.

"When you play teams twice, they study you and have a chance to put it right. They made it tough for us but we've won the game and that's all that matters.

"The first goal [disallowed effort after three minutes] should have counted. They said they made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes.

"I'm really enjoying it. The team are playing good football and I'm getting chances. Delighted to be called up again [for England]."
