Emi Martinez declared Ollie Watkins the Premier League’s player of the season after the striker set yet another record in Sunday’s win at Arsenal.
Watkins’ late goal in the 2-0 victory took his tally for the campaign to 26, more than any Villa player in a Premier League season.
"I think Ollie should win player of the season,” he told Sky Sports. “When you play for a 'Big Six' side, you get more credit but Ollie has scored 19 goals with the chances he's got. He should be a contender." Victory saw Villa climb three points clear of Tottenham, on a weekend when their rivals in the race for fourth place were thumped 4-0 at Newcastle.
