Magpies eye Red Devils after Villa rout

The Straits Times

It was a physical English Premier League contest between Newcastle United and Aston Villa on Dec 26, and Magpies boss Eddie Howe would be pleased that his side are finding form ahead of the new year.

LONDON -

The home side won 3-0 at St James' Park with goals from Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak and Joelinton, while Jhon Duran was sent off for the visitors who crashed to a fifth straight away defeat.

Victory in the last home game of the year moved Newcastle up to fifth on 29 points - ahead of Bournemouth on goal difference while Villa fell to ninth, a point behind Howe's side.

In their quest to return to the top four and the Champions League, Newcastle are in a purple patch of form with three straight league wins, scoring 11 goals and keeping three clean sheets in the process.

They got off to a great start in the second minute when they won the ball back in midfield before Joelinton found Gordon on the left, where he curled a shot past Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez into the top corner.
