Ollie Watkins scored the opening goal for Aston Villa in their 1-1 Premier League draw against AFC Bournemouth on Sunday. The striker converted a cross from Morgan Rogers in the first half at Villa Park. Enes Unal equalised for the visitors in stoppage time to secure a point for Bournemouth, according to the Premier League.
Watkins was omitted from the latest England squad named by manager Thomas Tuchel for upcoming fixtures. The forward has scored 14 league goals this season but faces competition for a place in the squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Aston Villa remain in fifth position in the Premier League table following the result, per Sky Sports. Bournemouth sit in 11th place after 29 matches played. Tuchel is expected to finalise his squad selections ahead of the international break. Watkins has 15 caps for the national team and previously featured in the European Championships, according to the Football Association.
