Newcastle United bounced back from four consecutive Premier League defeats to beat Aston Villa 3-1, largely thanks to a first-half brace from Fabian Schar.
The Newcastle centre-back produced a first-time finish from Kieran Trippier's corner, before he quickly added a second to put the Magpies in complete control.
Villa's miserable evening took another turn for the worst when Alex Moreno diverted the ball into his own net to leave his side with an insurmountable task.
Ollie Watkins pulled a goal back in the 71st minute to give the home faithful something to cheer, but the Villa forward was left frustrated when he had a goal chalked off just moments later.
Ultimately, the Villans could not find a way back into the contest, ensuring they fell to their first home league defeat since losing to Arsenal in February 2023.
