Aston Villa 2 Newcastle 0 – Watch official match highlights and goals here

4 years ago

It ended Aston Villa 2 Newcastle 0 on Monday night.

Newcastle going 1-0 down on 32 minutes as the home side dominated most of the first half and scored a very good free-kick.

Then only four minutes later it was pretty much game over as Villa added a second, another well worked free-kick.

Not great defending and United deserving nothing at the break.

The early minutes of the second period saw a little bit more adventure and Saint-Maximin had a great effort well saved.

That quickly disappeared though and whilst Steve Bruce changed personnel and formation (went to a back four) Newcastle never really looked like getting back into it and indeed could have lost by more.

Watch the official highlights here to see for yourself how it all played out….
