Jamie Carragher has been left stunned by Ollie Watkins after his performance for Aston Villa in their 3-0 victory against Newcastle United.
The £28 million (Guardian) man was praised by the likes of Tim Sherwood and Scott Minto for his masterful outing on Saturday.
Now, Jamie Carragher has gone on to laud Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins against Newcastle United.
What did Carragher say about Aston Villa goalscorer Watkins vs Newcastle?
The England international doubled his side’s lead with a lethal finish with his weak foot to kick off his goalscoring exploits.
After Watkins’ second strike of the day was disallowed due to being marginally offside, he responded almost instantly with a stunning turn and strike to cap off his brace against Eddie Howe and Co.
Jamie Carragher was seriously impressed by Aston Villa No.9 Ollie Watkins, who tore Newcastle apart in what was a supremely brilliant showing from him.
“What a performance, Ollie Watkins”, he tweeted.

“Unstoppable!”, Carragher added.
The Liverpool legend was much like any and every fan and pundit alike, who witnessed a masterclass from one of the Premier League’s most in-form strikers at his magnificent best.

Considering many started to write Ollie Watkins off as his goalscoring numbers declined for Aston Villa after their decline, it is wonderful to see pundits like Jamie Carragher give him his due credit after his display against Newcastle.
Since he has stepped foot in the Premier League, the 27-year-old has proven his class as one of the most complete strikers in the division.
Every No.9’s form ebbs and flows but ultimately, it was reactionary from many to discount the Englishman’s quality.
As Watkins has shown, especially under Emery’s guidance, he is one hell of a marksman when in form, as he has displayed for club and country for years.
