‘Absolutely brilliant’, ‘Buzzing for him’ – Some Villa fans react to 25-yr-old’s goal last night – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins scored his first England goal on his international debut last night against San Marino.
The 25-year-old has been outstanding for the West Midlands club this season and he has scored 12 goals for Dean Smith’s side across all competitions.
Watkins was rewarded for his hard work with an international call up and he did not disappoint Gareth Southgate with this performance.
The Villa striker was brought on as a substitute in the second half and he managed to score the fifth goal of the game for the Three Lions with a wonderful finish from the edge of the box.
Watkins seemed delighted with his goal after the game and he will be looking to build on this performance and hold down a regular starting berth for his country in the coming years.
It seems that the striker has handled the step up to the Premier League impressively this season and last night’s performance shows that he is ready to make his mark at the international level as well.
Some of the Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to share their reactions to the 25-year-old’s goal against San Marino and here is what they had to say.
Literally couldn’t care less about England but still the loudest I’ve screamed for weeks. Buzzing for him
