Newcastle United 3-0 Aston Villa

Newcastle United recorded a third consecutive Premier League victory following a 3-0 win against ten-man Aston Villa on Boxing Day. In their final fixture of the calendar year at St. James' Park, the Magpies got off to a flying start courtesy of Anthony Gordon's stunning strike inside the early exchanges before the visitors were reduced to ten men shortly after the half-hour mark following Jhon Durán's straight red card after a dangerous foul on United defender Fabian Schär. Alexander Isak's close-range tap-in before the hour mark doubled the Magpies' lead, with the Swedish forward netting in his fifth consecutive Premier League game in the process, before Joelinton's emphatic stoppage-time strike rounded off a fourth successive win in all competitions for Eddie Howe's side, moving into fifth place of the English top-flight.This podcast has been created and uploaded by Newcastle Fans TV The views in this podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.
