Greatly, I would have thought, David.
Yeah, they've not been picking up too many points this season, but so that one would be an absolute bonus for them as well, especially after the first half.
What they did in the second half by bringing Rudy on, they managed, they played slightly longer, got balls into Rudy, but pushed the midfield players further forward.
So consequently, you had more players in the box when it got in wider areas.
So it gave them more opportunity to score.
Was that the change that Aston Villa needed, Jamie?
I can't say I saw that very often, I've got to say.
But Steve McLaren will be pulling his hair out.
Jan Mat, take it from their point of view, Newcastle's, Jan Mat gets lazy defensively.
As that ball's travelling, he's got to get as tight as he can and not allow Jordan to work that angle into score.
But what a finish.
It's a brilliant strike.
It's a great, great goal, but from a defensive point of view, I would be having a real pop at Jan Mat.
He's got to get a lot tighter than that.
Yes.
Yes, I thought second half, he was a constant pain in their side.
He worked really hard, especially on this right-hand side.
He scores this from the left, but a lot of his good work was done down the right-hand side.
He made numerous opportunities for Villa to score.
But look at that.
