Aston Villa captain John McGinn hailed Ollie Watkins after his hat-trick against Brighton.

Villa thrashed Brighton 6-1 in today's early kickoff.

McGinn said, "[The win] is right up there against a superb team. It's not clicked for us this season quite yet, but it all fell into place today. It's a great result.

"Everything seemed to go right. We worked a lot on their shape you have to, they're a top side. We just need to keep doing what we're doing at the moment.

I think we got quite lucky against Chelsea so we need to improve our away form."

On Watkins' performance, he added: "I'm delighted for him. The England manager was there, so that will cheer him up. He works really hard for the team which sometimes goes unnoticed. Today was the complete performance."
