00:00So Newcastle United win a fourth game in a row in all competitions with a 3-0 win over

00:06Aston Villa here at St James' Park and another brilliant day for Eddie Howe's side.

00:10They've been really good over the last week or so, two weeks and today was another big

00:17step in the right direction against a Villa side that came into this game above them in

00:21the table two points in two places above them but yeah Newcastle really showed their dominance.

00:28Of course we all know the red card will be spoken about and that'll be the main turning point a lot

00:33of people will say that was the reason for Newcastle's win but before that Newcastle were

00:37really good they started off really well I'll go through the game in a minute but you know

00:40that Villa did come back into it just before the red card but to be honest it was Newcastle's day

00:44felt they had another level or two to go up and they had bright spots I don't think they weren't

00:48perfect for 90 minutes Newcastle far from it really actually but they had enough in them in

00:53a couple of you know two or three good moments to get the win and yeah that's I said fourth

00:59win in a row was that 15 goals in four games one conceded in all competitions that's sorry 14 goals

01:05that's you know that's fantastic really they could have had another six or seven we've had we spoke

01:08about that over the last couple weeks where they could have had six or seven goals we've got four

01:12you know a couple times last week three again today they could have had a lot to do but yeah

01:17I'll go through Anthony Gordon starts the match off fantastically there's a great finale

01:23fantastic interception from him he plays it Bruno Bruno to Joel and Joel feeds Gordon

01:28and as soon as he come on his right foot you knew what exactly what he's going to do I mean

01:30Martinez knew exactly what he was going to do but he got nowhere near the shot it was an absolutely

01:34fantastic effort from Gordon into that top corner simply brilliant and you know after a match you

01:40need some sort of spark sometimes I've seen James spark and that's not a criticism but you do need

01:44a spark and that was a spark to get everything every one of all the fans you know chanting his

01:49name and it was a brilliant goal brilliant play from you guys and not just the finish the finish

01:52was obviously fantastic but it was just a brilliant goal in general you know the build-up the

01:57interception against Tonali, Joel Hinton's run yeah it was just a fantastic start and after that

02:01Villa did come back into the game as you'd expect you know they had that early setback but they

02:05they believe in what they're doing and IMRE is a good coach you know he's got them coached well

02:09but they were that all their momentum really was was taken from them when John Durant got sent off

02:15I've seen some people say it wasn't a red card I'm shocked that anyone thinks it wasn't a red

02:19card I've even seen Alan Shearer say that he thought it was slightly harsh but the incident

02:23occurred he was played through Fabian Scherr with a tough tackle but a good tackle and Durant as

02:28he's fallen catches Scherr on his back with his studs I would say and I think that a lot of people

02:35you know on first glance certainly from where I was sat I thought it was just an accidental one

02:38I thought that he's got nowhere else to go and he's got to land on it but I think you see one

02:42replay you can see that the force of him does come down maybe his left foot is is slipping but that's

02:48no excuse for his right foot to go where it does I think he knew what he was doing Durant and I

02:51think he was rightly sent off and I think VAR did right not overturn the decision it always felt

02:55like one it was never going to overturn the decision but you know Hanson Taylor would give

03:00himself a couple of minutes to compose himself he showed a red card Villa were obviously not happy

03:04with that Durant then his reaction threw and kicked a water bottle on the pitch so he wasn't

03:08happy with that and there was a bit of needle going that was about 30 30th minute 32nd minute

03:12there's a bit of needle then going into halftime I had a couple of decisions Joe Linton in the corner

03:16and catching Morgan Rodgers that was Morgan Rodgers made a lot of nothing there and then

03:21heading into the break there was a clash between sort of coaches players and in the tunnel Jason

03:26Tindall was sent off a Villa Aston Villa analyst was sent off Unai Emery was visibly upset or you

03:32know angry with that decision we'll soon try to see what he says after full time and show there'll

03:36be reaction from that on the Shoes Gazette but yeah come out the second half Newcastle again

03:40against 10 men without Jason Tindall in the dugout and to be fair Aston Villa they started well I

03:44think Newcastle not struggling for ideas but we've seen them against teams that sit back low they do

03:48sort of tend to struggle to break teams down Aston Villa didn't really change what they did I think

03:52they they slowed things down a little bit more but and they were a little bit more cautious but they

03:55were still there you know the team that you expect the attacking unit expect but Newcastle really

03:59turned on the second half really made their their dominance count with a couple of yeah a couple of

04:04good goals first from Alexander Isak he had a he had an interesting game he was very much involved

04:09he was a menace to the Villa defence did miss a couple of chances and first first half sort of a

04:16couple of touches didn't really fall his way but yeah his goal brilliant play down the right

04:20Jacob Murphy feed him in it was a tap in really but you know it's a goal he has to take a striker's

04:24goal and yeah he did very well at this goal that that was too low once that happens you think that

04:28is game over Aston Villa had a couple of chances I had one from a set piece you think um that might

04:33have happened uh Martin Dubravka made a good save in the first half from a Lucas Dean free kick but

04:37now he was really untested in that goal Newcastle as I said could have had six or seven Joel Hinton

04:41had the ball in the net in the first half that was judged for the ball that grew out of play beforehand

04:45I think that that was the right call Newcastle then had the ball in the net for by Isak again

04:50but that was offside haven't seen a replay on that by all intents and purposes was a close one but of

04:54course the VAR to be fair the technology was really good for offside so that's one there and then Bruno

04:59right at the end um bit fortuitous he was just sort of stood there it was good play by the wingers

05:04um and then Ezra Conzard just cleared the ball off Bruno but he did clear it off his arm

05:09and that was ruled out and you think you know 2-0 was fine but you're always worried about 2-0

05:12is that going to be it's that dangerous scoreline you know the old theme but they finally made it

05:16three Joel Hinton um picked up a ball from Martinette or sorry the defender it was a poor pass

05:21Joel Hinton urged to shoot by probably 50,000 people in this crowd and he did that and killed

05:26it over Martinette so it's a brilliant finish to to the game and yeah Newcastle United 4-0

05:30winners as I said the red card sort of make it feel how it's it's hard to sort of dissect it

05:34with the red card what would have happened without it but Newcastle were very good value for the win

05:38very good before that I think Aston Villa were second best and yeah fantastic with Verdi outside

05:42fantastic two weeks as mentioned and they're going to go to Manchester United on Monday night at

05:46Old Trafford full of confidence of ending that been a long way for a Premier League win there

05:50of course they've only won once in the Premier League there they have they've only won once

05:53in the last 10 years there that was obviously last season the Carabao Cup so yes very good

05:57win for Newcastle United to end 2024 at St James' Park one more game left of the year

06:02before two really important games against Tottenham and Arsenal to come next you know in

06:07first couple weeks of next year but right now Newcastle United will be very happy

06:10with that performance they've got Old Trafford on Monday very confident of a win
