Isak's Brace Secures Newcastle Victory Over 10-Man Villa

Posted : 27 December 2024

Alexander Isak continued his impressive goalscoring streak as Newcastle defeated 10-man Aston Villa, moving up to fifth in the Premier League table. The match saw a fast start, with Newcastle taking the lead in the second minute through Anthony Gordon’s well-placed curled shot, set up by a quick counterattack initiated by Joelinton after a Sandro Tonali interception.

 

A significant setback for Villa came in the 32nd minute when striker Jhon Duran was shown a straight red card for violent conduct after a challenge on Fabian Schar. Referee Anthony Taylor ruled that Duran had deliberately stamped on Schar's back, though the 21-year-old striker, visibly frustrated, argued the contact was accidental. Villa manager Unai Emery expressed frustration, believing the decision should have been reviewed by the video assistant referee (VAR), and criticized Taylor for not taking more time to reconsider the call.

 

Newcastle took full advantage of the numerical advantage, with Isak adding a second goal early in the second half. He scored from close range after a precise low cross from Jacob Murphy, extending his fine form to 11 goals in the Premier League this season, including seven in his last six matches. The goal effectively sealed the win for Newcastle, as Villa struggled to respond with a man down.

 

Joelinton then added a third in the 92nd minute, capitalizing on a poor pass from Villa’s Amadou Onana to curl the ball past Emiliano Martinez. The win lifted Newcastle above both Villa and last season's champions, Manchester City, while Villa’s fifth consecutive away defeat left them in ninth place.
