Ollie Watkins told Sky Sports that he has ‘never seen’ anyone work so hard like his Aston Villa teammate, Trezeguet.
The 26-year-old came off the bench on Sunday to help Villa secure an unlikely 3-1 win against Fulham.
Going into the final 15 minutes, Villa were heading towards back-to-back defeats without Jack Grealish and the inevitable questions being asked after the game.
But both substitutions, Trezeguet himself and the under-appreciated, Keinan Davis, changed the game and secured all three points for his side.
“Trezzie works so hard,” said Watkins. “I have never seen a player work so hard as him. He deserves it.
“He’s always getting in there. Credit to him and I am happy for his two goals. And luckily I got the third because I wasn’t having a great game.”
That’s two wins and two draws for Villa without their expert ball-carrier, which is some going for a ‘one-man team’.
The key thing for Villa is to get their boyhood fan back on the field because they could make a late charge for those European places.
A certain Liverpool awaits Villa at the weekend and a reunion with the team that they put seven past at the start of the season.
