Ollie Watkins puts seal on Villa’s win over West Ham after England omission
The Story So Far
West Ham United suffered a Premier League defeat at Villa Park as Aston Villa secured a victory to climb into the division's top four. The home side took the lead through their captain, John McGinn, helping to end a recent sequence of three consecutive losses. The result was eventually confirmed by a goal from Ollie Watkins, who scored shortly after being omitted from the latest England international squad. In addition to the scoring, the match saw the return of Youri Tielemans, who replaced McGinn as a substitute following a two-month absence due to an ankle injury. The Hammers were unable to find a response during the encounter.
