"After surviving a few scares as Fulham looked to double their lead, a long ball forward from Lucas Digne was latched onto by Watkins, who excellently lifted the ball over Bernd Leno before the ball eventually bounced into the net. Watkins' last goal came all the way back in April, when he scored against Bournemouth to become Villa's all-time top Premier League goalscorer."
"Since then, he has struggled to find form for the Villans, missing a huge chance to get the winner against Sunderland last week before missing a penalty against Bologna in the Europa League on Thursday. After the 29-year-old was clearly low on confidence, he will hope this goal can be the catalyst for him rediscovering the form which has seen him become one of the Premier League's deadliest strikers in recent years."
Ollie Watkins ended his goal drought by levelling for Aston Villa against Fulham in the first half. Villa fell 1-0 behind after three minutes to Raul Jimenez but found an equaliser before half-time. The goal came from a long Lucas Digne pass that Watkins latched onto and lofted over Bernd Leno before the ball bounced into the net. Watkins' previous goal came in April against Bournemouth when he became Villa's all-time top Premier League scorer. He had since struggled for form, missed key chances and a Europa League penalty, and will hope this goal restores his confidence. Fulham remained the better side in the first half and the game stayed tightly poised at half-time as Villa still sought their first league win of the season.
