"I think since the manager [Unai Emery] has come in, I've scored a lot of goals, and got assists, I always find myself playing regularly in the team, so to go a prolonged period without scoring and doing that, it does affect you. It has been hard, but you have to just keep picking yourself up, turning up every day, and working hard. You get your rewards in the end, and now I can put those hard times behind me and keep looking forward."
"We're in an amazing place, Watkins added on"
Aston Villa recovered from a 2-0 first-half deficit to beat Brighton 4-3, with Jan Paul van Hecke and a Pau Torres own-goal giving Brighton an early lead. Ollie Watkins scored twice in 15 minutes at the end of the first half to draw Villa level. Amadou Onana and Donyell Malen completed the comeback after the break, while Van Hecke pulled one back late. The victory marked only the third time Villa have come from 2-0 down away to win in the Premier League. Watkins ended a seven-game scoring drought and has now scored nine times in 10 Premier League appearances against Brighton.
