League CupAston Villa striker Ollie Watkins says he will watch footage of Peter Withe's famous winner in the 1982 European Cup final to help inspire him before their own Europa League final against Freiburg on Wednesday. It has been 30 years since Villa last won a major trophy, the 1996 League Cup, and Withe's winner in 1982 was Villa's last success in Europe.
