Aston Villa ace Watkins admits regrets after Spurs defeat

Aston Villa ace Ollie Watkins believes Sunday's defeat to Tottenham Hotspur is not the end of the world.

The Midlands club are still in fourth place in the Premier League, despite Spurs beating them on their own patch by 4 goals to nil.

Despite the loss, which did hurt Watkins and his teammates, he believes they can bounce back quickly.

“Really disappointing," said Watkins to club media post-match.

“First half I felt we had a few opportunities on the break, I had an opportunity myself, I've chopped back, maybe I should shoot.

“But I felt in the first half they didn't cause us too many problems, I think they had one corner.

“Second half we've come out a little bit slow and they're always quick coming out in the second half.

“They've scored two goals really quickly and it's very difficult against a good side to come back from 2-0.

“Obviously, with our captain getting sent off as well, it was difficult."
