Ollie Watkins made his case for an England call-up with a hat-trick as Aston Villa powered to a 6-1 demolition of Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

After winning five of their opening six league matches, fourth placed Brighton have endured a week to forget, losing in the League Cup at struggling Chelsea before their capitulation against Villa.Villa struck after just 14 minutes as John McGinn’s pin-point pass released Matty Cash down the right flank.

The 27-year-old didn’t have to wait long to nab his second as he conjured a fine solo goal in the 21st minute. Inspired by Watkins, Villa were running riot and the striker was involved again when they bagged their third goal in the 26th minute. Fati reduced the deficit in the 50th minute, the on-loan Barcelona forward applying a close-range finish to Joao Pedro’s cross before a lengthy VAR check for offside finally awarded the goal.
