Aston Villa boss Unai Emery hailed the performance of Ollie Watkins for victory at Sheffield United.

Watkins scored one and created two more in the 5-0 win.

"Ollie Watkins is a player with high commitment to the club, and high commitment to the work too," Emery said. "His behaviour is completely focusing on football and Aston Villa. His wish to win and desire to improve is always a good example for everybody.

"Then, the result is the performance on the pitch, scoring goals and getting assists. Even when we were analysing the match we played away in the league against Everton, he had four very good possibilities to score and create chances, but he was not clinical.

"But this is good work and this is the way, to be consistent and trying to improve and be demanding every day. This is Ollie Watkins."
