FT: #AVFC 1-3 Newcastle Villa beaten at home in the league for the first time in 346 days. Bailey & subs made an impact but too little too late by then. One of those nights,though could argue this result had been coming. Still in a good position but maybe a few regrets for Emery

8-1 across the two games so far with more than half an hour to go. Newcastle and Howe exposing #AVFC's set-up, here. When the triggers/timings/rhythm are not there, Villa look so open.

⚫️⚪️⚽️GOAL‼️ HE'S DONE IT AGAIN! Fabian Schär, 35 Mins Aston Villa 0-2 Newcastle 🔊https://t.co/50Kcx4pkRR #NUFC | #AVLNEW
2-0 Newcastle. Schar again. Comes from another corner but this time Schar turns in the rebound. #AVFC are shocked.
Villa 0-1 Newcastle. Schar. Well deserved for Newcastle. Been much the better side
And Newcastle take the lead. The corner comes after they expose Villa's (really, really) high line again. Trippier fires the ball in, it falls to Schar who prods it in.
Goal Schar. Volleys in from a corner. 1-0 Newcastle #AVFC
Brilliant defending from Clement Lenglet then followed up by Alex Moreno. Possession is pretty even but you get the feeling Newcastle's set-up is causing more discomfort defensively for #AVFC. Boubacar Kamara the glue for Villa, as he has been in recent weeks.
