Скачать или смотреть THE LAST WORD | NEWCASTLE UNITED 0-2 ASTON VILLA

Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins both scored as high-flying Aston Villa ended their long wait for a St James' Park victory against Newcastle United.

The visitors had not triumphed on Tyneside since an infamous afternoon in 2005, when Newcastle went down to eight men and team-mates Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer were both sent off for fighting each other.

But Unai Emery's men have won more points on the road than any other Premier League side for a reason this season, and they showed their mettle away from home once again.

It was the rejuvenated Buendia who opened the scoring when the Argentine brilliantly scooped the ball past Nick Pope from outside the box to silence the stadium in the 19th minute.

Watkins then sealed the victory late on when the unmarked striker headed home from substitute Lucas Digne's cross, leaving the away end singing in the rain as their side moved level on points with second-placed Manchester City.

That was the cue for a number of Newcastle supporters to make their way for the exits on a disappointing afternoon for their side, who would have moved ahead of champions Liverpool with a victory.

The hosts went close to opening the scoring when Sandro Tonali danced past three players only to see his close-range effort kept out by the foot of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez just seconds into the game.

The outstretched Martinez also made an important save to claw away Lewis Miley's header just before half-time.

But Aston Villa had their chances, too, and Pope made fine stops to twice deny Watkins.

There was little the Newcastle goalkeeper could do about Buendia and Watkins' goals, as the visitors secured a deserved win.
