Ollie Watkins Scores on Debut for Al-Hilal, Praises Saudi Pro League

Ollie Watkins made an impressive debut for Al-Hilal, scoring in a 3-0 victory against Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday.

The England international, who recently transferred from Aston Villa, came off the bench in the second half and netted a goal with a header late in the match. Al-Hilal's scoring began with Sergej Savic, followed by Crysencio Summerville adding a second goal.

Watkins, who had a successful six-year stint at Aston Villa, expressed his belief that the standard of play in Saudi Arabia is comparable to the Premier League. He noted the physicality and high quality of the match, and he aims to score in every game moving forward. Despite having a goal disallowed for offside earlier in the match, he remains optimistic about his performance as he settles into his new team.
