Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins is fast closing in on an English football goals mark currently held by Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling and Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Englishman found the net for Dean Smith’s men as they silenced Bristol City 3-0 in Thursday’s Carabao Cup fixture.
With strikes from Anwar El-Ghazi and Bertrand Traore handing the Premier League outfit a commanding 2-0 lead at half-time, the 24-year-old came off the bench to seal the victory for the visitors, who will now face Stoke City in the next round of the competition.
