Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins was delighted with victory at Burnley.

Watkins struck in the 3-1 win.

He said, It was a great performance; it is always difficult coming here and we dealt with their long balls really well. They didn't have many clear chances, we were good on set pieces and we scored three good goals. A lot of positives to take.

"We came here last year and went 1-0 up only to lose 3-2; they kept coming at us and we didn't deal with their long balls. We knew we had to do that and we punished them at the other end. Scoring early breaks the ice and we knew the importance of that third goal; if they scored it they'd have had momentum. It is nice to get into double figures for goals and we are hoping to get top-10.

"We need to keep the momentum going."
