Unai Emery salutes Ollie Watkins after Aston Villa striker continues scoring streak
Unai Emery expressed his delight for Ollie Watkins after the striker continued his scoring streak against Nottingham Forest.
Watkins, making his 250th appearance for the club, scored for the fourth time in three matches when he opened the scoring moments before half-time in Saturday’s 3-1 win.
The England international, who endured a difficult start to the season, has now scored more goals than any other striker in the Premier League since the start of December.
Emery, who continued to back Watkins in public during his rough patch, said: “I was happy two months ago. I am happy now. For him it is much, much better.
