Newcastle United Punish Aston Villa with 3-1 Win
Fabian Schär's Quickfire Goals Put Magpies in Control
Newcastle United continued their impressive form in the Premier League on Monday, January 30, 2024, with a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park. The Magpies became the first team to defeat Villa in the league this season, thanks to a quickfire double from Fabian Schär in the first half. The Swiss defender opened the scoring in the 32nd minute with a powerful header from a Kieran Trippier corner. He then doubled his tally just four minutes later, latching onto a loose ball in the Villa penalty area and firing home. Villa pulled one back through Alex Moreno's own goal in the 52nd minute, but Newcastle restored their two-goal advantage through Joelinton in the 63rd minute. The Brazilian forward finished off a fine team move, involving Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson, to seal the victory.
Conclusion
Newcastle United's victory over Aston Villa is a testament to their impressive form under manager Eddie Howe. The Magpies have now won their last four league games and are unbeaten in their last six, moving up to third in the Premier League table. Villa, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their performance, but they will take solace in the fact that they are still eighth in the standings and firmly in contention for a European place.
