Match Reports
Villa had taken lead when Arsenal defender Bukayo Saka accidentally slid the ball into his own net, before Watkins made the result certain in the second half.
The striker finished off a fine team move when he headed in from close range, and then fired an angled shot through the legs of Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno a few minutes later.
It was Arsenal's second consecutive home league defeat of the season following a 1-0 loss to Leicester at the Emirates last month.
