What were the highlights of the Newcastle vs Aston Villa match?
Newcastle feeling good about themselves, having beaten Liverpool and Spurs and taking the lead in the first half here against the bottom side, Aston Villa. Fabrizio Conaccini putting his team in front. Second half, a brilliant equaliser from Jordan Ayoub. Aston Villa much improved with a rain sudden St James' Park. Is that point enough or are they sunk? Well, they had seven efforts on target, Aston Villa, in that game and that is a season high. They can be pleased with that improvement. They had more possession as well than Newcastle overall. 53% to Newcastle's 47% and more accurate with their passing too. Look at their bottom statistic, 75% to Newcastle's 66%. But what a piece it finished.
How did Aston Villa improve in the second half?
Let's hear from both goal scorers with Geoff Shreves.
Jordan and Fabrizio first. Both sides had chances, but does a draw feel like the right result for that game?
Yeah, I think we played better in the first half, the second half. I think they have more situation than us. All I think is a draw is OK.
Jordan, would you agree with that?
What were the key statistics from the match?
You were much better in the second half? Sure, in the first half it was a little bit complicated because we changed our formation, so it was a little bit difficult. But in the second half, when Rudy entered, it was easier for everyone. So, yeah, first half was for Newcastle and second half was for Villa.
I mean, it's a game you both want to win, so what good is a point to you? How do you see a point there?
Well, I think today, after the last two weeks that we had the two games, I think it's an important point. Seven points in nine, I think it's very important for us that we've been playing for the reason.
Jordan, your reaction on scoring, as soon as you scored, you didn't celebrate, you just wanted the ball, because that was really underlying the fact you need all three points.
Sure, if we have three points, it's better, but one is better than nothing. We still have three games, and I think if we play like we played in the second half, I think we'll win games.
You think you showed enough fight and spirit there?
Yeah, I think since the beginning of the season we've been showing fighting spirit, but sometimes when the luck is not on your side, it's difficult. But one point is better than nothing, so we just take it like that and we continue working hard.
Have you scored many better than that? Well, I think this is one of my best ones. You don't score many, but you seem to score them at the right times. Were you surprised how much space you had for your goal?
Yeah, I think it was a strange corner because the ball was not high and I was in the back post. So, a bit strange. But, well, it was a goal and helped the team for a point.
OK, honours even. But, Jordan, you picked up the bark, which is a man of the match. Fabrizio, will you hand it over, please?
Did the draw feel like the right result for both teams?
Yes, thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you both.
Thank you. Deserves it for that fantastic equaliser. Unfortunately for Aston Villa, it was only enough for one point. And how will they value that one point, Ray?
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?
Yeah, I think Ray spoke about it at half-time. When you get crosses into the box, you need a focal point in the team. And that's what Rudy Gusted offered. And straightaway, you can see the introduction. First half, they were getting crosses in. They had Scott Sinclair and Ayew in the box. but no-one looked like he could head it. Straight away, you've got two players up there looking to attack the ball, and it's a good stand-up there by Hutton, and this is where the corner comes from from the goal.
