Aston Villa didn’t panic although and saved doing the correct issues, they usually acquired their reward on 36′ minutes when Watkins rose highest to transform a cross that was stood up on the far publish. That gave them hope, they usually duly took the lead shortly after the break, with Watkins once more the beneficiary of Villa’s laborious work, tucking away his probability after Harrison deflected the ball into his path.
