Watkins told BBC Radio 5, "as an Arsenal fan to score here at the Emirates is unbelievable.
"I think I have another level."
The 24-year old forward further said: "In the second half you saw what I'm about, getting the ball, setting and spinning and making defenders run towards their own goal - hopefully the more I can do that the more goals I can score."

It was Aston Villa instead that always looked most likely to score and could have won by a wider margin.
