Watch adorable moment Aston Villa star’s son sings Ollie Watkins song after England hero’s goal against Netherlands

ASTON VILLA’S Emi Buendia’s son showed his appreciation for his dad’s team-mate by singing his song after his wondergoal against the Netherlands.

The striker was brought on for Harry Kane last night and only had four touches – one of which was to fire the ball into the bottom corner at the death.

Watkins’ 90th-minute winner means the Three Lions march on to Berlin to face Spain on Sunday.

But his sensational impact seemed unlikely ahead of the semi-final as he had only featured for 20 minutes off the bench in England’s group-stage draw with Denmark.

And after his spectacular finish Villa team-mate and midfielder Buendia filmed his son chanting “Ollie Watkins du du du. Ollie Watkins du du du,” – a song commonly sung at Villa Park.

One fan said the heartfelt clip was “the best thing you’ll see today”.

While another added: “Mini Buendia knows ball.”

A third then put: “So bloody cute.”

And a fourth then wept: “The most adorable thing.”

England had plenty of concerns against the Dutch as they fell behind inside seven minutes.

Xavi Simons scored a sublime goal after dispossessing Declan Rice in midfield.

However, the goal sparked the Three Lions into life, and they were level eleven minutes later.

Kane won a controversial penalty after being caught by Denzel Dumfries.

The captain took the responsibility and converted from the spot with a tidy finish into the bottom left corner.

Holland came out fighting in the second half to try and find a winner but it was not to be.

Celebrating after being awarded MOTM Watkins walked into the stands to meet his loved ones.

He was spotted sharing a big kiss with his partner Ellie Alderson and hugged another loved one as those around him applauded after his heroics.

Prior to the semi-final, Watkins’ mum urged Gareth Southgate to play her son more as she gave an X-rated rant at a pub.

Watkins is a product of the Exeter City academy and made his breakthrough at the club, winning the EFL Young Player of the Year award, before departing in 2017 for Brentford.

He had a successful three-year spell at the club, culminating in being the joint top-scorer in the 2019–20 Championship and being named Championship Player of the Year in 2020.

The striker then signed for Villa in September 2020 and was just awarded Premier League Playmaker of the Season after scoring 19 goals and creating 13 assists this term.
