Things could have been a lot worse as the visitors were unlucky not to see a penalty awarded following a Matty Cash handball, as VAR stuck with the on-field decision.

Before half-time, Watkins stepped up with a crucial equaliser, after making a sensational run to meet a long ball from Lucas Digne.

With Bernd Leno in no man's land, Watkins cheekily dinked the goalkeeper to end a 700 minute goalscoring drought in the Premier League.

It was his first league goal of the new campaign, as well as Villa's second in six games.

Can Villa go on to secure their first league win of the season?
