Aston Villa 4-2 Celtic: Unai Emery's side narrowly qualify for Champions League knockouts thanks to Morgan Rogers' hat-trick... as Ollie Watkins nets hours after Arsenal launch bid to sign him

Ollie Watkins will have had quieter days than this one. A bid for his services made by Arsenal and rejected by his club Aston Villa may have just put him off his warm-up a little.

Then came the football. A crazy game of European back and forth ultimately settled by his second half goal but also featuring more missed chances than he would have wished and a penalty spooned over the bar in to the Holte End after his standing foot gave way at the end of his run up.

So a day when Watkins became a back page story and an internet meme all at the same time.
