Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Villa Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Isaac Hayden made 339 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 13' Ollie Watkins makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Aston Villa FC are in front.
- 18' It is a cagey affair so far. Aston Villa FC in their trying to find a way past Newcastle United FC's compact .
- 23' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jack Grealish suffering a number of foals already.
- 26' A moment of madness from Fabian Schar on 26 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Newcastle United FC will be frustrated.
- 31' It’s high time Steve Bruce made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 47' Karl Darlow has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.

- 54' Andy Carroll has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 54.
- 57' The referee shows Newcastle United FC player a Yellow card on 57.
- 62' Jonjo Shelvey has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 71' Allan Saint-Maximin has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andy Carroll on 71 minute.
- 76' Marvelous Nakamba is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Aston Villa FC tonight.
- 80' The Aston Villa FC manager makes a substitution. Ross Barkley departs to be replaced by Anwar El Ghazi.
- 81' A change in the Newcastle United FC ranks — Miguel Almiron exits the field as Dwight Gayle enters on 81.
- 86' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Aston Villa FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
