Aston Villa's 2-goal Watkins: Beating Newcastle shows the level of where we are

Aston Villa's two-goal Ollie Watkins was delighted after their thumping win against Newcastle United in Saturday's early kickoff.

Villa thumped Newcastle 3-0 at Villa Park via goals from Ramsey and a Watkins brace.

Watkins said, "Yeah I think we are on a great run at the moment we are playing good football. Newcastle are a great side so it shows the levels we are at. Once we get that first goal, it's a hard place to come [Villa Park]. We are enjoying it at the moment.

"[We are] trusting team-mates in tight areas and if we make mistakes we go again. Real togetherness in the team and looking forward to games to come.

"We are on a great run at the moment and taking each game as it comes. It's a hard place to come and we are trying to win every game."
