Unai Emery believes Ollie Watkins is becoming the complete forward for both Villa and England after a star showing in the 3-1 win over Bournemouth.
Watkins did not manage to score against the Cherries but did set up both of his team’s second half goals in a 3-1 victory which further boosted their hopes of securing Champions League football.
“The commitment to the work we need him to do is always fantastic – more than scoring goals or assists.“He’s showing that he is very demanding in how he can increase the level.“He deserves this because he’s a very hard worker every day – always he wants more and more and he’s always asking how to improve.”
Dominic Solanke had given the Cherries a first half lead from the penalty spot but Morgan Rogers levelled for Villa on the stroke of half-time. Emery has given Villa’s players two days off to recuperate after yesterday’s match saw them complete a gruelling schedule of seven matches in 22 days.
