Aston Villa striker Watkins: We massively needed win at Sheffield Utd

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins was happy scoring in their 5-0 win at Sheffield United.

It was a second goal in two games for Watkins.

He said: "I am always capable of going on a run. It's just about the mindset and the belief - belief that my team-mates are going to give me the ball like they did today, then I have got to finish the opportunities that I get."

On importance of bouncing back from Newcastle defeat, he stated: "We needed it massively. Football is very fickle. We could have gone 17 points ahead of Newcastle. They drew today then we have won and the gap changes again.

"It changes very quickly. Really happy with our response and we now push on and hopefully can go on a good FA Cup run."
