Emery said afterwards: “Emi Martinez is the best goalkeeper in the world and it means that we need him in moments like today.

“I was sitting on the bench and I was dreaming his save! He did it!

“Watkins is being consistent working tactically defensively and offensively, creating chances too.

“He had a chance in the first half but the goalkeeper (Bernd) Leno made a fantastic save. Watkins scored a fantastic goal.”
