This will be Villa's fifth Premier League win on the spin as they climb up to sixth in the table.
They head to the Etihad on Tuesday to take on Man City in another massive game as far as the Champions League is concerned.

Image source, PA MediaIt is safe to say that this could have been an absolute hammering, and it still could be. There is plenty of time left.
They see it now. They feel it now. Villa will think that they can score as many as they like here. Four is not enough for them.

Also a triple change for Villa as Marcus Rashford, Ross Barkley and Donyell Malen replace Ollie Watkins, Morgan Rogers and Boubacar Kamara.

Villa teaching Newcastle about the value of squad depth. Watkins, Ascensio, Maatsen, Onana all didn't start midweek. Our boys look shot to bits. If we still make Champions League, we need to add numbers.

Aston Villa 4-1 Newcastle
During the madness of the two goals, Newcastle brought on Joe Willock, Callum Wilson and Matt Targett for Kieran Trippier, Alexander Isak and Fabian Schar.

Brilliant Villa! Everyone seems to have forgotten that despite going out, they did beat PSG last week. Team and manager on the rise, come on you clarets!!!

Villa have hit the woodwork for the third time but this time it's Jacob Ramsey.
He cuts in on his right foot and thinks he's curled one into the far corner but it crashes off the inside of the post.

I asked if it was game over when the third Villa goal went in but it certainly is now!
This is some performance from Villa after the disappointment of losing being knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Aston Villa have destroyed Newcastle in just a few minutes. The substitutions have come on and made a perfect impact. And what a goal it is from Amadou Onana, it's a lovely finish. Passes it into the top corner.

Two goals in one minute and 44 seconds.
Not bad.

The Villa fans are in dreamland!
Newcastle are supposed to be one of the Premier League's form sides. Villa look miles better.
Amadou Onana (75 mins)

Now it's the other substitute getting in on the act as Fabian Schar gives the ball away but Nick Pope makes a fine save.
Morgan Rogers lays it back for Amadou Onana on the edge of the box and he smashes it into the top bins!
Dan Burn - own goal
Is that game over?
Jacob Ramsey stands up Kieran Trippier before beating him to put in a great cross with his left foot. It's aimed for Youri Tielemans but it's Dan Burn who turns it in at the near post.

Image source, Getty ImagesJoelinton is having much less of an impact in the game, it is very noticeable. He is on a yellow card so he is scared to make another challenge.
There have been a few moments where he would normally stick a tackle in but he has almost jumped out of them because he does not want another yellow.
Aston Villa 2-1 Newcastle
Here come two Villa changes as Amadou Onana and Jacob Ramsey come on for John McGinn and Marco Asensio.
Aston Villa 2-1 Newcastle
Kieran Trippier's delivery is too deep and sails out of play.
Aston Villa 2-1 Newcastle
As things stand, Villa move up to sixth but just two points behind Newcastle in third.
Still time for that all to change though as Anthony Gordon wins a corner.

Villa have been the better team in this entertaining game. Watkins and the Villa midfield have been great. Can see Villa scoring a 3rd.

What a game Ollie Watkins is having by the way.
A goal, an assist and he's even hit the woodwork twice.

The corner is a low one and the Villa players fail to clear it but Joelinton can't sort his feet out to hit it.
