OLLIE WATKINS GOAL CELEBRATION: TO “FIND OUT FURTHER DETAILS,” POLICE SHOULD CONTACT ASTON VILLA AND BRENTFORD.

On Sunday, the Metropolitan Police will confer with Brentford and Aston Villa over the circumstances surrounding Ollie Watkins’ goal celebration. The striker said that during his team’s 2-1 Premier League victory on Sunday, a supporter verbally insulted him. He pointed at a Bees fan while standing in the net to celebrate. A spokeswoman for the police stated that they are “aware of the claims.”

It has been confirmed by the Metropolitan Police that they will be getting in touch with Brentford and Aston Villa in order to “find out further details” regarding Ollie Watkins’ goal celebration over the weekend.
In the 85th minute, Watkins gave Villa the lead against his old team, and the team rallied to win 2-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The 27-year-old then pointed to a home end supporter who he said had verbally insulted him while standing behind the net.

“We are aware of the claims,” an officer in charge of the police said.To obtain further information, officers will speak with representatives from Brentford and Aston Villa.”
Watkins’ celebration touched off tense circumstances, leading to a fight between the two groups of players inside the goalmouth.
Ben Mee’s red card in Aston Villa’s victory over Arsenal and Manchester City is contested by Brentford manager Thomas Frank.
Manchester United was forewarned by Jose Mourinho about players who might obstruct success.
But that wasn’t the only incident that caused a rift; Ben Mee of Brentford was sent off for a studs-up in the 71st minute.

Deep into extra time, Villa were eventually down to 10 men themselves when Boubacar Kamara was given the order to march.
“There was one individual who had been giving me abuse all game, from the first corner,” Watkins said.
“He’d been talking about personal things to me during the game. I didn’t receive any racist remarks, but he was making a lot of statements. “I’m going to get him back,” was my thought.I have a great deal of respect for the team, the people here, the owner, and the manager. It was directed at him, not anyone else in the stadium. That was my response to him as I was leaving.”

In a statement issued on Sunday night, Aston Villa reaffirmed their support for their striker and demanded “zero tolerance to abuse in football.”
“Aston Villa FC wants to express its support for Ollie Watkins,” they stated.

With the deepest respect for the vast majority of Brentford supporters as well as the team, we request that the authorities look into this occurrence and track down this person.”
Meanwhile, Thomas Frank, the manager of the Bees, declared that he had no grudges about the celebration.
“Ollie and I went to each other after the game,” he stated. “He mentioned a fan-related issue. I am aware that Ollie is a really honorable individual.”
