In the ninetieth minute, Watkins scored from close range after receiving a feed from Cole Palmer, another late substitute, to set up a match against Spain on Sunday.
And the Aston Villa player lauded his teammate as well as the never-give-up attitude that has carried Gareth Southgate’s team through all the difficulties.On ITV, Watkins stated, “Unbelievable.” I’ve spent weeks waiting for that opportunity. To get to where I am now, a lot of hard effort has been required. I am happy that I had the chance to seize it and am appreciative that I did.
“We’re coming on and you’re going to set me up,” I told Cole Palmer, and that’s why I was so thrilled with him—I knew as soon as he got the ball he was going to play me in. I swear on my life and the lives of my children.
It’s the greatest feeling ever to see it go into the bottom corner, but you have to be greedy and touch and shoot.
We’re coming on and you’re going to set me up, Cole Palmer, I promise on my life and the lives of my children.
Ollie Watkins”A lot of people have been critical, but ultimately, what matters is that we are in the final. We’re in the final, so ignore everything outside of it.
“We possess that type of resilience; falling behind by a goal tends to galvanize us.” We never give up. We’ve overcome deficits and prevailed on penalties. We are prepared for one more game.
