Newcastle secured a dominant victory over Aston Villa, with Anthony Gordon setting the tone early, scoring within the first 90 seconds. Villa were left with an uphill battle after Jhon Duran was sent off for a reckless challenge on Fabian Schar, reducing the visitors to 10 men. Despite a few isolated moments from Villa, the game was effectively over as a contest after the red card, and Newcastle took full advantage of their numerical superiority. In the second half, Alexander Isak struck the decisive second goal, making it a more comfortable lead for the hosts. The Swedish striker’s finish ensured Newcastle maintained control of the match and Villa struggled to create any real threats on goal. As the game wound down, Villa's defense continued to absorb pressure, but their resistance was ultimately broken with another late goal. Joelinton added a third in stoppage time to put the final nail in Villa's coffin. After a mistake from Villa in possession, Joelinton calmly slotted the ball into the top right corner, rounding off a clinical display by Eddie Howe's side. With the game beyond reach for Villa, Newcastle could relax and see out the final minutes without further threat.

THAT SEALS IT! Villa attempt to play out from the back, but Onana's pass is intercepted by Joelinton. He makes a quick charge towards the edge of the box, calmly slots it into the top right corner past Martinez. That goal seals the win for Newcastle, putting them three up and effectively ending any hopes of a Villa comeback.
