Andy Madley is booed by the denizens oif St James’ Park as he blows for half-time, the locals nonetheless sad that he didn’t ship off Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez for what was fairly clearly an offence solely worthy of a warning. Interestingly however unsurprisdingly, Martinez’s post-foul finger-wag within the course of the ref urged he believed he’d performed nothing fallacious in any respect!
It’s been a half of … properly, two halves’; one hi-octane, quick and livid wherein Sandro Tonali fired Newcastle forward earlier than Moussa Diaby equalised for Villa. Alexander Isak restored Newcastle’s lead as the sport bubbled alongside properly, just for all “oomf” to be misplaced after Tyrone Mings was stretchered off after struggling what gave the impression to be an damage that was each freakish and severe.

If that is a part of a brand new refereeing directive, I can’t say I’m in favour of it and I doubt the gamers or followers are enamoured with it both.
We’ll have a minimal of 10 minutes of added time, most of it because of the prolonged time period medics spent treating Tyrone Mings earlier than eradicating him from the world.
44 min: Diaby ought to have performed higher, there, as he was by no means more likely to rating with a shot to the close to publish. He may have squared the ball or at the least tried to intention a shot in direction of the huge expanse of objective not being coated by Nick Pope.
42 min: The rhythm of the match is damaged up by a sequence of niggly fouls from gamers on each side. Moussa Diaby will get in behind the Newcastle defence after taking part in a give-and-go with Douglas Luiz however with loads of objective to intention at, shoots straight into the facet netting on the close to publish from an admittedly tight angle.
