Aston Villa's matchwinner Ollie Watkins believes that a lot of praise should go to goalkeeper Emi Martinez.

The Midlands club picked up an impressive away win against Chelsea on Sunday.

After the 1-0 success, during which Watkins scored the only goal, the England forward chose to speak about Martinez and his display.

"It is always nice to score and help the team to win," Watkins admitted to reporters.

“It had been a few games I hadn't scored. I knew the goals would come but I am delighted it has come in a game that helps the team and helps us get the three points.

"The defender did well to block the first shot but then it fell to me and I hit it quite cleanly. I was always feel good, but that first goal is tricky to get.

“We played against a top team in Poland the other day and then it was a quick turnaround. We showed our resilience, kept playing our game. We concede goals because we play such a high line it is risky. But we've got an unbelievable goalkeeper who one v one is so hard to score against.

"We have such a good squad. We have crucial players out with injuries that we cannot forget about. We just have to keep recovering and keep working hard."
