Can't be many games he's played for us where he's scored more than once? Liverpool, today...?

Up to 8th in our top PL scorers list.

And since the World Cup he's scored the same number of league goals as Haaland. Although that could change later today it's still a stunning record.

Arsenal away, 3-0 win.

This is Watkins 2.0, totally different player.

Ah yes.

Argument could be made that those three are our three best performances since promotion.

Less than 180 minutes per goal this season now. Equal with his previous best for us and top 10 for both goals and assists. All credit to him and the manager is a genius.

Arsenal away was superb. A proper battering at a hard place to go. Today was totally professional start to finish with every player playing at the top of their game. Jack was simply superb in those other two games, so we had that one defining player who stood out. But today we no longer rely so heavily on one player. It’s a complete management/team/squad effort.

When you consider he'd scored two goals in 14 games before the arrival of Emery, that's some serious transformation. As you say, both deserve enormous credit.

Finally beat his brace hoodoo after years. Happy for him and it's good for us.

When he was chatting to the BT presenters before the game, my initial thought was he was not going to turn in a good performance after the adulation he received from all 4 of them.

How wrong I was, could have had 6 goals today, but for the post, two great saves and a very close offside.

AND - apart from the goals, he was giving assists for everyone else.

What a transformation and a brilliant performance - has now surpassed Haaland, Kane and Rashford, over the same number of recent games - WOW.

14 goals, 6 assists and counting. What a player. Workrate has never been in doubt and he's getting the rewards for it now.

It would be great if he could break 20 Premier League goals before the end of the season. It's been a while since we had someone do that.

I’ve spent a very pleasant hour reading posts on the NUFC fans forum (highly recommended). One thing stands out - their respect for Ollie including a number of calls for them to sign him - some chance!
