Ollie Watkins has joined an exclusive club at Aston Villa as he becomes one of just four players to have achieved a certain goal and assist tally.
It has been a great start to the season for Aston Villa with them currently sitting in fourth place in the Premier League.
Over the past 12 months, the Villans have improved dramatically under Unai Emery’s leadership. Numerous people have improved as a result of these improved results, ranging from Douglas Luiz to Ezri Konsa.
This weekend, Villa grabbed a well-deserved point against Bournemouth. Dominic Solanke and Antoine Semenyo each scored goals to double the home team’s lead. The Villans were unflappable even though the Cherries might have earned more.
Villa, led by Ollie Watkins, managed to respond with a goal and an assist from him for Leon Bailey’s score. Due to his goal involvement, he has gained entry into a private club.
What is Ollie Watkins’s accomplishment?
After putting on a fantastic show, he has now solidified his position among some of the greatest Villa names. According to the BBC, he accomplished this by being “just the fourth Aston Villa player to provide 6+ goals and 6+ assists in consecutive Premier League seasons for the club.”
Watkins deserves all of this since he has played brilliantly in claret and blue for many seasons. He has just burst into life under Emery and is now a premier goalscorer.
Under Dean Smith, Watkins has played for the Villans since 2020 and has finished first in B6 every year since then. Prior to adding 11 and 16 last season, he scored 17 in his debut season. With 13 goals in all competitions thus far, he is well-positioned to enjoy his finest Villa Park season to date under Emery’s guidance.
Watkins has been exceptionally good, as evidenced by his inclusion on an exclusive list of players with such a record for the Villans. He is a top-tier, ultimate purple patch player who scores goals in patches.
He will be among Villa’s better players for a long time given his age, his skill, and his form under Emery. He has the potential to be an even greater threat and a gifted player if he can establish consistency in front of goal.
The supporters of Villa will be hoping that he can keep up his current level of play and that his goal involvements can soar this season.
