Newcastle-Aston villa PL summer series

Newcastle Lineup

Aston Villa Lineup

Newcastle start the season with the same intensity from last season,They weren’t fooling around when Howe said Intensity is our identity with their front 3 ready to press villa’s Center backs immediately after Martinez starts the buildup.Almiron(Right wing)is signaling for tonali to press Douglas luiz incase Martinez plays the ball over the Newcastle front 3.Martinez goes for a long ball which is won by trippier.

Newcastle successfully pull villa’s front line and Schär readies himself for one of his long balls.Which lead to a dangerous isak attack

A tonali error leads to this attack and villa’s first goal by Watkins

Trippier spots an almiron run and goes for a through ball

Which leads to a great chance that is missed by eliot anderson

Anderson shifts inside to press kamara and targett advances to cover his place vacating a space behind them where konsa plays a great pass to mcginn

Guimeres has buendia in his blindspot and he presses douglas luiz leaving acres of space for buendia

Guimeres attempts to press luiz and leaves buendia alone

Buendia scores the 2nd goal of the night

Jacob murphy is finally able to deliver the through ball NewCastle has been aiming to deliver since the start of the match to Elliot Anderson who had a great head start for the run and he ankle breaked konsa to score the magpies first goal of the night in the goal fest

Anderson is able to intercept the ball from kamara in the final third

Isaak scores the 2nd from anderson’s shot rebound

Second Half

We get a bulk of substitutions for the second half

Guess how Aston villa scored their 3rd goal? Yes you probably guessed it right they penetrated Newcastle’s center with ease and Buendia the MOTM scores his second goal of the match (2 goals 1 Assist)

To wrap up the scoring Lascelles plays a perfectly timed through ball to Gordon to set him 1 v1 against robin Olsen who saves the ball .

unfortunately for him Wilson scores the rebound

Newcastle where a little bit rusty during the match but they still have 4 friendlies to play,so they’ll surely be better in their PL opener against villa
