نیوکاسل یونایتد مقابل استون ویلا

Aston Villa won 1-0 at St James' Park, and the goal came from a player Newcastle had wanted. Johan Manzambi had agreed to join the home side in the summer before Villa made a late bid. On Saturday he headed the only goal, and the Newcastle fans booed their team off at the end. The goal came in the 36th minute. João Gomes crossed from the right and Manzambi was left unmarked. Lukas Hornicek got a hand to the header but could not keep it out. Before that, Sven Botman and Joelinton were both booked in the 18th minute. VAR looked at Botman's challenge on Nicolas Jackson and left it as a yellow. Emiliano Buendía hit the post for Villa shortly before the break. Newcastle had no shot on target in the first half and only one in the whole game, a Botman effort saved by Zion Suzuki. Hornicek also kept out a Ross Barkley drive in the 73rd minute. Newcastle have now lost two league games in a row and have gone 16 home games in all competitions without a clean sheet, a club record. The result puts Villa level with them on eight points. It was also the 100th Premier League win for Unai Emery.
