Minute-by-minute report: Ollie Watkins scored two and created the other as Aston Villa swatted their visitors aside with a performance of collective and individual excellence
“It was a superb performance,” said Villa’s captain in an interview with the BBC. “Newcastle are a very, very good team. They remind me of Leeds a couple of years ago; in the build-up to the game, you know you’ve got to run and fight, prepare a bit extra. Even at 1-0, they are bringing on players who can change the game. The third goal was sweet, then we could enjoy it.”“Yeah, trusting you team-mates in tight area and knowing that if we make a mistake we just go again.
Villa left-back Alex Moreno will be visiting Kieran Trippier in his nightmares, while John McGinn was also outstanding in midfield for Villa. In their defence, Tyrone Mings looks back to his very best and was a composed presence in a back four that rarely looked like conceding.
