Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins was in dreamland after scoring on debut for England.

The 25-year-old, who got his break in League Two with Exeter City, came on as a substitute and rounded out the 5-0 win with the final goal of the game.

"Unbelievable, what I have dreamt about," Watkins said after the game. "All day in the hotel I was just thinking that I hope to get a chance to come on, enjoy it and get the opportunity to score. I'm speechless to be honest.

"It's been a good journey. I just feel honoured that I can come out here and play for my country with these players and score on my debut. Over the moon.

"I just wanted to get on pitch for a start. I have and can't believe it.

"I'm going to take each game as it comes, focus on my club form, play consistently for Aston Villa, score for them, help the team push up the table and hopefully get into Europe and take it from there."
