Amadou Onana celebrates scoring for Aston Villa. |
At Villa Park, Unai Emery's team showed extremely impressive form, despite their opponents, Newcastle, being on the rise recently. Ollie Watkins opened the scoring in the first minute, although Fabian Schär equalized in the 18th minute, that was all the visitors could do in this match.
Within just 11 minutes in the middle of the second half, Aston Villa scored three goals thanks to Maatsen (minute 64), Dan Burn (own goal, 73) and Amadou Onana (75), helping the home team easily crush the "Magpies".
Aston Villa continued their impressive home form with a sixth successive win in all competitions, scoring at least two goals in each game. This is Villa's longest run of home wins with at least two goals in each game since January 1990, when they won 11 in a row.
Aston Villa's 4-1 win over Newcastle marked the first time since April 2023 that they have won five consecutive Premier League games. The Midlands side have won 10 of their last 11 games in all competitions, suffering just one defeat away to Paris Saint-Germain.
The win also ended Newcastle United's six-game winning streak, giving them a huge advantage in the race for a Champions League spot. Aston Villa are now rated by Opta as having a 39% chance of qualifying for Europe's premier competition next season.
In the Premier League table, Aston Villa are currently joint fifth with Nottingham Forest, who will face Tottenham this round in another landmark match.
