Newcastle United Ends Aston Villa's Unbeaten Home Run with 3-1 Victory

Fabian Schär Scores Twice, While Villa's Ollie Watkins Hits 50th Premier League Goal Milestone

Newcastle United defeated Aston Villa 3-1, marking their second away win in the top flight this season and ending Villa's unbeaten home run that lasted almost a year.
Fabian Schär scored two goals for Newcastle within four first-half minutes, both stemming from Kieran Trippier corners.
Newcastle's Alexander Isak was forced off the field due to injury a few minutes before the end of the first half, leaving the team without a fit bona fide striker.
Ollie Watkins scored his 50th Premier League goal for Aston Villa, becoming the third player to reach that tally for the club.
With this defeat, Aston Villa has now won only one game in their last five league matches, raising questions about their assault on the top four.
