Ollie Watkins issues a caution to Erling Haaland as Aston Villa’s standout player sets his sights on winning the Golden Boot.

Ollie Watkins, who’s been in impressive form for Aston Villa this season, revealed that Unai Emery conducted three meetings before their 2-0 victory over Arsenal.

After Leon Bailey opened the scoring, Watkins secured Villa’s lead with a confident finish. With this goal, he has now equaled Christian Benteke’s record for the most goals scored in a Premier League season for Villa.

Watkins noted that they capitalized on Arsenal’s frustration and fatigue, sticking to their game plan of playing out from the back. Despite initial worries when Youri Tielemans hit the woodwork, Watkins remained confident in their ability to get a result.

Watkins emphasized the demanding nature of their coach and the clarity of their game plan, which involves extensive meetings to ensure everyone knows their roles.

Despite Erling Haaland having only one more goal than him this season, Watkins is determined to compete for the Golden Boot, expressing his ambition to contribute both goals and assists to help his team succeed.
