Newcastle made it four wins on the spin in all competitions as they won 3-0 against Aston Villa, who had Jhon Duran sent off in the first half.
Anthony Gordon took just 90 seconds to send Newcastle on their way with a beautiful curling strike. Villa’s task was already tough enough after that but was made even more difficult by Duran’s dismissal after a clash with Fabian Schar.
The Villa striker was deemed to have deliberately left some studs on the leg and back of Schar after the Newcastle man had went to ground.

Former Premier League referee Mike Dean said on Soccer Special: “Only Duran will know if he could have got out of the way.
“The foot does go on the back of the defender and that has what has tipped the referee towards a red card.”
Newcastle played with great intelligence and coolness in the second half with the extra man and goals from Isak, his seventh in five games, and Joelinton rubberstamped an easy victory.
