What a week for Aston Villa: following up a memorable victory away to the Premier League leaders with a last-gasp shootout triumph in Europe, Ollie Watkins inspired them to this ultimately comfortable win over Bournemouth to stretch their lead over Tottenham to six points in the chase for fourth place.
If Watkins was most people’s man-of-the-match, tireless in his running and the creator of two more goals as Villa overcame Dominic Solanke’s early penalty to make it five home games unbeaten, then Emiliano Martínez was probably the biggest character yet again.
