Watkins later said: "Sometimes he thinks too fast for you, so I have to start from his body movements, and then sometimes I have gone the other way!

"He's too sharp - he thinks faster than everyone else.

"I cannot talk well enough about him to be honest. It's a pleasure to play with him and Danny Ings, and hopefully we can do this as a team more often."
