That is Watkins at his best. He makes an intelligent run, lingering just inside his own half, knowing he cannot be offside...As center-forward play goes, it doesn't get much better.
From front to back, Villa were better than Arsenal. They were tactically disciplined, aggressively defended their own box and were clinical on counterattacks...They could have run out 4-0 winners.
Isak scored twice as Newcastle hammered Tottenham 4-0 on Saturday, taking his tally to 18 league goals in 24 games. Look under the hood, though, and what Isak is doing is even more impressive...he's lethal in front of goal.
Isak is the prototypical modern striker, capable of linking up play when a defensive line sits in deep or happy to sprint into space when playing on the break.
