Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins enjoyed a dig at Troy Deeney after scoring in victory at Arsenal.

Watkins was superb and scored in the 2-0 win on Sunday.

Going into the game, Watkins' ability as a striker was questioned by Deeney. The former Watford captain told talkSPORT: "With Ollie, this is going to sound negative but I promise you it is not, he is a winger trying to be a striker.

"That's just who he is. He is very good at being a striker, but when Ivan stepped up and took that penalty [versus Belgium] did you think he was going to miss? I didn't.

"Whenever Ollie runs through one-vs-one during many games this season, I'm still not convinced he is going to score.

"I think he will score eventually if you give him three or four shots a game. Ivan just has that borderline arrogance about him that makes me go: 'Right, stick Ivan in there'."

In response, after victory in London, Watkins posted a snap of himself 'shusshing' fans with the caption: "Not bad for a winger trying to be a striker."
