Watkins up for Premier League Goal of the Month

Ollie Watkins' stunning volley in Aston Villa's 3-0 win at Southampton has been shortlisted for April's Premier League Goal of the Month Award. 

Supporters are able to vote for Ollie's strike now, which helped seal a fourth-straight success in the league at St Mary's on April 12. 

Coming on in the 66th minute, the England forward needed just seven minutes to make his mark, making a trademark run in behind and latching onto Youri Tielemans' long ball over the top, sending a deft flick over Aaron Ramsdale and in off the underside of the crossbar to put Unai Emery's side ahead. 

The goal was significant in that it saw Watkins put up 20 Premier League goal involvements for the third consecutive season, and was his 14th of this league campaign, with his performance also earning him Villa's Player of the Match award. 

Voting is open now until 12.00pm next Monday, May 5, with the winner set to be announced on Friday, May 9.
