Former England star Joe Cole says Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins can be happy after last night's performance against Australia.

Watkins scored the only goal of the 1-0 friendly win.

Cole said, "He has done himself no harm. he looked comfortable and was running the channels well.

"We mixed the team up massively and as a striker you are looking for combinations, moving left and right and he did that. He got his reward.

"Him, Callum Wilson, Ivan Toney, those three are jostling behind the number one in Harry Kane. Maybe Gareth Southgate will take two of them.

"There is a long time to go. Toney has to come back, Wilson has the Champions League and could do something extraordinary. We have such competition for places."
