HITMAN WATKINS RETURNS TO HAUNT FORMER CLUB AGAIN
OLLIE WATKINS enjoyed another successful boos cruise back at Brentford.
The Aston Villa striker scored the winner at the Gtech Stadium for the second season running.
At least this time he chose not to goad the fans who used to adore him and celebrated his 49th-minute strike with Villa's jubilant travelling fans.
What a week they have had.
After seeing their side put a foot in the last eight of the Champions League at Club Brugge last Tuesday, they finally saw Unai Emery’s men return to Blighty and win on the road.
Up until last night, Villa had lost all four of their previous away games immediately after performing in Europe.
