Aston Villa 1-3 Newcastle – Fabian Schar double downs Villans as Magpies end Premier League losing streak - Eurosport

Fabian Schar managed to score two goals in quick succession, which helped Newcastle United secure a brilliant 3-1 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park. This match marks the first time that Aston Villa has been defeated at home in the Premier League this season.

Newcastle's winning performance ended their four-game losing streak in the Premier League. Eddie Howe's team gained an impressive victory away from home against a strong opponent.

The team led by Unai Emery had a chance to secure the second position in the league if they won the match and earned three points. However, they were caught off guard when the opposing Swiss center back scored two goals within a mere span of four minutes during the first half of the game, causing the Holte End spectators to go quiet.

32 minutes into the game, he smoothly finished a goal from Kieran Trippier's corner, giving his team the lead by six yards. And to everyone's amazement, he repeated this feat just four minutes later at the 36th minute, this time using his right foot, and tapping into the net. This was after a deflected Anthony Gordon effort had hit the underside of the bar.

On the 52nd minute of the game, Newcastle scored their third goal, which turned out to be a killer for Villa. This happened when Jacob Murphy tried to shoot but mishit the ball and it ended up colliding with a post. As a result, Villa full-back Alex Moreno accidentally bundled the ball into his own net.

On the 71st minute, Ollie Watkins scored his 50th goal in the Premier League for Villa with a great cross from substitute Leon Bailey. However, Villa got defeated by a considerable margin.

This is the initial occurrence in which Villa has lost a Premier League match at their home ground since they were defeated 4-2 by Arsenal eleven months ago. Newcastle has also put an end to their eleven-year long wait to win on the same ground in a league match.

Eddie Howe's team has reached the seventh position in the table, having obtained 32 points out of 22 games. Villa, who keep their fourth place with 43 points, are 11 points ahead of Howe's team.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle Find Their Winning Touch

The Premier League continues to be both exciting and difficult to predict.

Eddie Howe witnessed his team, which was plagued by injuries, suffer losses to Luton and Nottingham Forest in a depressing four-game losing streak in the Premier League. Following this, they faced a confident Villa team that hadn't lost at home since February.

Newcastle had reasons to feel nervous before the game due to some factors. However, they ended up winning impressively, which reminded fans of their amazing performance from last season, as they enjoyed a great evening.

The team is now in seventh place on the leaderboard, which means they would qualify for European football in the next season. However, it appears that Howe will expect better performance from his team in the remaining 16 matches of the campaign.

While speaking on TNT Sports, Howe expressed his desire to see his team play the game in the way he envisions. This aspect has been present before but has caused disappointment. Nevertheless, today he witnessed his team successfully embodying the qualities and style he has been striving for.

The visitors, Newcastle, just scored a goal at the 32-minute mark! Schar was the player who made it happen after Trippier provided a corner kick. Schar managed to get ahead of Konsa and score a goal from six yards out with his boot. It was a pretty easy goal to score. As a result, Newcastle is now leading 1-0.

In the 36th minute, Newcastle scores a goal! Can you believe it? Gordon makes a risky shot at the goal from far away, but it hits off Lenglet and bounces up and then hits down on Martinez before falling into the net off the bottom of the crossbar. Schar was there to easily score the rebound, making it a simple tap-in. This goal brings the lead up to 2-0 for Newcastle.

The move was spectacular!

In the 71st minute, Villa scores a goal thanks to Watkins! This unexpected turn of events adds some excitement to the game. Watkins made an impressive move by hitting the ball into the net after Bailey's cross. This results in a lovely finish for Villa, and now they have renewed confidence in themselves.

In the 74th minute, the VAR disallowed a second goal for Villa because Watkins was offside when Bailey passed the ball to him. Even though Watkins made an impressive chip over Dúbravka, the goal was not counted, giving the visiting team massive relief. Bailey was a notable troublemaker on the field, creating difficulties for the opposing team.
