Ezri Konsa posts message after seeing Aston Villa teammate Ollie Watkins send England to Euro 2024 final
Ezri Konsa has praised his Aston Villa teammate Ollie Watkins after the striker’s dramatic winner to book England’s ticket in the Euro 2024 final.
The 28-year-old attacker was the hero for the Three Lions last night as Watkins‘ 90th-minute winner secured England’s passage to a second consecutive Euros final, with the Villa star enjoying his finest moment yet on the international stage.
After such a historic year with Villa under Unai Emery, Watkins took his chance with England last night in Dortmund against the Netherlands with both hands, creating history in the process and setting up an enticing final with Spain.
And Villa teammate Konsa has now sent a message of support to Watkins.

Taking to Twitter, Konsa was in awe with Watkins after the striker’s last-minute goal for England, with the defender writing: “Wow that’s how you win a game, we’re in the final. Ollie Watkins my striker!”
With Konsa winning plaudits for his performance for England in the quarter-finals against Switzerland, the Villa defender has also played a huge role in getting the Three Lions to a second consecutive Euros final.
Indeed, Villa’s stars have played short but important roles for England this summer, with Gareth Southgate clearly huge fans of the likes of Konsa and Watkins, especially with how impactful the two have been.
And heading into Sunday’s final in Berlin, Konsa and Watkins will again want to make an impact for England from the bench, with history once again on the line for England in a huge clash against Spain.

Watkins’ impact from the bench against the Netherlands was exactly what England fans wanted to see from the Villa superstar, with the striker living up to his reputation after a career-best season under Emery.
And heading into Sunday’s final, Watkins will want to play a role of sorts with England against Spain, with the striker proving that he can be the man for the big moments for the Three Lions with Harry Kane clearly off the boil.
The 28-year-old attacker showed his quality in a big way against the Netherlands, and fans will want to see more of Watkins ahead of this weekend’s Euros final in Berlin, where England will be underdogs.
