ASTON VILLA 3-0 NEWCASTLE (WATKINS, 83 MINS) That should be the three points sealed for Ollie Watkins. Leander Dendocker wins possession inside the Newcastle half and John McGinn gathers to pass into Emiliano Buendia, who in turn feeds Ollie Watkins. The finish isn't the most powerful, but it rolls past Nick Pope for Watkins' second of the afternoon. * 13:12 ASTON VILLA 2-0 NEWCASTLE (82 MINS) Newcastle continue to fashion chances despite being second-best for much of the afternoon. This time Fabian Schar finds a yard of space from a free-kick to glance a header past the far post when unmarked. * 13:10 SUB ASTON VILLA 2-0 NEWCASTLE (80 MINS) Bruno Guimaraes nearly catches out Emi Martinez with a looping cross that nearly dips beneath the crossbar, but the Argentine claims well. A final change for Newcastle as Eliot Andersen replaces Joelinton. * 13:08 PASSING ONE OF THE LEAGUE'S TOUGHEST TESTS * 13:06 ASTON VILLA 2-0 NEWCASTLE (76 MINS) Huge chance for Miguel Almiron, gathering a squared pass inside the Aston Villa penalty area, taking a touch and hitting a shot into a desperate diving block from Ezri Konsa. * 13:04 ASTON VILLA 2-0 NEWCASTLE (75 MINS) The Holte Ends sings the name of their manager, and who can blame them given the level of performance seen since his arrival? Villa remain in the ascendancy, moving the ball quickly around the midfield and probing at the tiring Newcastle ranks. * 13:02 WAT OFFSIDE? OLLIE STRIKES AGAIN FOR VILLA * 13:00 SUBS ASTON VILLA 2-0 NEWCASTLE (69 MINS) More changes for Newcastle in response to that second goal. Matt Targett and Sean Longstaff are introduced to replace Dan Burn and Joe Willock. * 12:58 THE PREMIER LEAGUE'S FORM FORWARD 🔥 Since the Premier League restarted following the World Cup break, no player has been involved in more Premier League goals than Ollie Watkins (14 - 11 goals 3 assists) * 12:57 LET THEM COOK * 12:54 GOAL! ASTON VILLA 2-0 NEWCASTLE (WATKINS, 65 MINS) Second time lucky for Ollie Watkins! It's a lovely team goal, with John McGinn feeding Alex Moreno's overlap and the Spaniard finding Ollie Watkins between the posts. The finish is spun hard and low into the goalkeeper, and Villa have their two-goal lead. * 12:54 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (64 MINS) Aston Villa seem unmoved by that disallowed goal and pour forward on the counter-attack. It's three on three as John McGinn marauds forward, and the Scot looks to beat Nick Pope himself with an ambitious curling shot that whips over the crossbar. * 12:53 NO GOAL! ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (61 MINS) A huge let off for the visitors. Ollie Watkins' knee had just strayed offside, and the goal is chalked off by referee John Brooks having consulted VAR. * 12:51 GOAL! ASTON VILLA 2-0 NEWCASTLE (WATKINS, 61 MINS) It's that man again! Ollie Watkins is slipped in to run one-on-one with Nick Pope, and on this occasion Pope can't prevent the finish as it his him and rolls over the goal-line. VAR is checking for offside, however... * 12:50 ONE NIL UNAI - VILLA ON TOP BUT NOT OUT OF SIGHT * 12:50 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (60 MINS) He hasn't had much to do until now but Emi Martinez is called into action to prevent Alexander Isak. The effort is curled out from under Isak's feet, and flies high to his left to save. The resulting corner produces chaos in the penalty area, and Miguel Almiron lashes a volley into the side-netting. * 12:48 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (58 MINS) Straight into the action is Callum Wilson, now partnering Alexander Isak in a front two. Isak clips a lovely cross in for his strike partner that requires Emi Martinez to come out and save well. * 12:46 SUBS ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (56 MINS) Eddie Howe makes his first changes of the afternoon. On come Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron for Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy. * 12:45 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (55 MINS) Newcastle work an opportunity down the right as Alexander Isak floats behind Alex Moreno but his shot is blocked away by the Villa defence. Ashley Young wins a corner at the other end, that drifts onto the foot of Jacob Ramsey, but his shot is tame and rolls along the floor. * 12:42 YOU CAN'T KEEP EMERY AWAY FROM EUROPEAN FOOTBALL FOR LONG * 12:40 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (48 MINS) Nick Pope makes another huge save from Ollie Watkins as the Villa forward cuts inside with ease and blasts a shot at the England goalkeeper's legs with an audible thump. Jacob Murphy has a run at goal at the other end and sees his drilled low shot fly past the post. * 12:37 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (46 MINS) No changes to record from either side. Unai Emery gets a standing ovation from the Villa Park fans as he emerges back out onto the touchline. Will his opposite number make any changes to reverse the score-line? * 12:34 OMINOUS SIGNS FOR NEWCASTLE Aston Villa have a record of W8, D0, L1 when leading at half-time in the Premier League this season. * 12:32 RAMSEY ROCKET - CAN VILLA ADD TO THEIR LEAD? * 12:30 PREMIER LEAGUE PUNDIT ALAN SHEARER: "I don't know why, but Newcastle look a yard short and quite tired. It was the same story in the first-half against Brentford last week. A huge part of their game-plan is their energy and pressing, and they're just not getting out quick enough." * 12:28 MUCH TO IMPROVE FROM THE MAGPIES * 12:26 PREMIER LEAGUE PUNDIT TIM SHERWOOD: "It's the least Aston Villa deserve, and the only positive for Newcastle is that it's only one goal. The goal started with their brilliant work off the ball, closing down. It's a great header by Ollie Watkins, and a top finish from Ramsey." * 12:24 BONUS POINTS AS THINGS STAND 3 - Ramsey 2 - Watkins 1 - Martinez, Young, Pope, Trippier * 12:22 UP FOR IT - VILLA DESERVEDLY LEAD AT THE BREAK * 12:20 HALF-TIME ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE A brilliant opening 45 minutes here at Villa Park. Jacob Ramsey has been the star in an impressive Aston Villa performance, scoring one and hitting the crossbar soon after. * 12:19 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (45+3 MINS) A break in play just before half time is called as Emiliano Buendia runs into Dan Burn's shoulder and requires treatment for the injury. * 12:16 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (45 MINS) Another corner is worked short for Aston Villa to then shoot from the edge of the penalty area, but the ranks in black and white hold firm to protect Nick Pope's goal. Bruno Guimaraes gets a sight of goal up the other end and produces an uncharacteristically sloppy finish on his left foot that dribbles past the post. * 12:15 NOT WHAT WE'RE USED TO SEEING FROM NEWCASTLE * 12:14 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (43 MINS) The tempo of this match is breathless, moving end-to-end with almost every passage of play. Alexander Isak attempts to break forward, is tackled, and Villa attack themselves through Alex Moreno and win a corner. The set-piece is whipped in by Douglas Luiz and breaks to the edge of the box for Ashley Young to fire back towards goal without reward. * 12:11 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (41 MINS) Jacob Murphy plays a perfect dummy to floor Jacob Ramsey and move into space down the right flank. On and on he goes, until Alex Moreno blocks his attempted cross. Newcastle use the opportunity to hold the ball and breathe, having been under the cosh for much of the first half. * 12:09 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (38 MINS) Beautiful football from Aston Villa once again, floating a delicate pass over the Newcastle defence to play in Jacob Ramsey. Nick Pope flies off his line to beat Ramsey to the ball. The Magpies move straight up the other end, working the ball to the right, and the move breaks down when Joelinton hits a hopeful shot into a block of claret shirts. * 12:07 EMI'S EFFORTS - ASTON VILLA ARE WELL ON TOP SO FAR * 12:05 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (35 MINS) Anthony Gordon tests the legs of Ashley Young, playing a quick one-two with Joe Willock ton run in behind the veteran right-back. Newcastle lose the ball, and Bruno Guimaraes fouls John McGinn to prevent a quick break. Needless to say, the Scot wasn't too impressed with that. * 12:03 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (32 MINS) A first promising spell in a while for Newcastle sees Kieran Trippier switch play beautifully out to Anthony Gordon. With Bruno Guimaraes making a dangerous run, Gordon's cross is just too high for the Brazilian's jump. * 12:01 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (28 MINS) Newcastle can't pick up Jacob Ramsey as he floats in behind, on the right side on this occasion. Ramsey waits, rolls in Leander Dendoncker, and the Belgian lets fly with a rising shot over the crossbar. * 11:59 A MIDFIELDER WHO KNOWS WHERE THE GOAL IS * 11:57 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (26 MINS) Aston Villa win a corner courtesy of Ollie Watkins deflected strike that Douglas Luiz works short before firing into the six-yard box. Nick Pope flaps at it as it whistles past, and Ollie Watkins attempt form the other side is nearly headed home by an unmarked Emiliano Buendia! So many chances for the home side. * 11:55 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (24 MINS) It's been a quiet start for Anthony Gordon, but the winger does well to cut inside and switch play to Kieran Trippier. Jacob Murphy is fed by a vertical Trippier pass, and Murphy looks to find Alexander Isak with a wicked cross that only just evades Isak's run. * 11:53 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (22 MINS) Ollie Watkins isn't the only in-firm striker on the pitch. Alexander Isak is played in by Fabian Schar with a booming long pass over the Aston Villa defence, but the Swede is adjudged to have fouled Ezri Konsa in contesting the ball. At the other end Fabian Schar brings down Watkins just as the Villa man is about to run in behind. Schar is duly booked for his troubles. * 11:51 RAM IT IN - VILLA STRIKE FIRST IN MATCHWEEK 31 * 11:49 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (19 MINS) There's a brief pause in play as goalscorer Jacob Ramsey receives treatment following a heavy challenge. That aside, the young Villa midfielder has had an incredible start to the match. * 11:47 ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (15 MINS) Aston Villa are absolutely flying here. Jacob Ramsey slips in Ollie Watkins just left of the centre, and Watkins rasps a shot low and hard that Nick Pope saves well with his legs. Alex Moreno collects and fires a cutback to Jacob Ramsey, with the crossbar denying him a second goal. * 11:44 KEEP UP KIERAN - TRIPPIER CHASES GOALSCORER RAMSEY * 11:42 GOAL! ASTON VILLA 1-0 NEWCASTLE (RAMSEY, 11 MINS) Aston Villa's brilliant start is rewarded. John McGinn hooks a dangerous cross in from the right for Ollie Watkins to nod back into the centre of the penalty area. On rushes Jacob Ramsey, and the 21 year-old midfielder finishes powerfully. * 11:40 ASTON VILLA 0-0 NEWCASTLE (9 MINS) Alexander Isak gets his first involvement of the day, and stings the palms of Emi Martinez from range with a vicious strike to win a corner. Kieran Trippier's cross is looped high and long, and Martinez can leap to claim easily. LIVE VIDIPRINTER BROUGHT TO YOU BY * Goal AVL 3 - 0 NEW 83' Ollie Watkins Ast.
