This is like a basketball match now. End-to-end.

Signs of a late Newcastle surge?
The home fans are doing their best to roar them forward. How big a winner would be for either side.

Leandro Bacuna takes one for the team as he pulls down a marauding Ayoze Perez.
Yellow card.

Golden opportunity for Newcastle against the run of play.
Aleksander Mitrovic and Ayoze Perez link up before the latter finds Georginio Wijnaldum inside the penalty area.
Just yards out he scuffs his shot and the chance is gone.

Newcastle looking to freshen it up as Florian Thauvin replaces Vurnon Anita in midfield.
Villa still driving forward...

Jordan Ayew is too good for Newcastle at the moment.
He again ghosts past Fabricio Coloccini as he makes the bye-line but his pull back is just about cut out.
Villa looking the more likely winner.

Villa are a side revitalised.
Jordan Ayew whips in a low cross from the right and Rudy Gestede is inches away from connecting at the far post.
It is all Aston Villa.

That was Jordan Ayew's (19) fourth goal in eight Premier League games after none in his first five appearances.

BBC Newcastle
Former Newcastle United defender John Anderson on BBC Newcastle
"Ayew still had a lot to do and it's a really good strike. But he was all on his own at the back post - no-one had gone with him, no-one had marked him."
Newcastle 1-1 Aston Villa
Brilliant.
The first real moment of quality and do Villa have new hope?
Jordan Ayew collects the ball on the left edge of the penalty area, he swivels and curls the ball into the far corner.
Unstoppable and probably no more than Villa deserve this half.
