Tottenham squeezed past Aston Villa to secure a fourth win from seven Premier League games – and Spurs fans were impressꦛed by Ollie Watkins.

Spurs came into the match off the back of three straight league defeats, los♉ing last time out to bitter rivals Arsenal –༒ a heavy 3-1 loss at the Emirates.

Watkins, 25, was excellent for Villa last season – scoring 14 goals and laying on five assists in 37 league games. It saw him win an🌼 England cap.

This time around, Watkins has not been firing on all cylinders but he was much-improved on Sunday. He got𒅌 his first of the season, ꦦin his fifth outing.

It comes after the ex-Brentford man was picked to represent England over the next fortnight – with Patrick Bamfordꦉ and Dom Calvert-Lewin injured.

Son Heung-m♛in was excellent, getting a couple of assists. Pierre-Emile Hojb🌳jerg and Lucas Moura ancelled out Watkins’ goal.

But there is another lasting impression made by Watkins from Sunday’s match – and that is on Tottenham fans. Reports say Spuওrs like Waꦗtkins.
