Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins was happy to score as England defeated Australia in Friday's friendly.

It marked almost 18 months since Watkins' last goal for his country.

"It has been a long time coming," Watkins told Channel 4.

"I have been waiting a long time for the next call-up. I was looking forward to it and I wasn't going to let this opportunity slip.

"I knew I wasn't going to come off this pitch without the goal, that was in my mind."
