Buendia Scores Stunning Goal as Aston Villa Beat Newcastle 2-0
Aston Villa's 13th win in 16 matches keeps them level on points with Manchester City, extending their title challenge under coach Unai Emery.
- Aston Villa secured a 2-0 win at St James' Park on Jan. 25, 2026, with Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins scoring.
- Under Unai Emery, Villa have been transformed, winning more than 10 recent league games after rising from the second tier Championship seven years ago.
- Emi Martinez kept Villa in the match with crucial saves, denying Sandro Tonali and Lewis Miley as Newcastle dominated possession but failed to convert chances in a fractious game with referee Jarred Gillett central.
- The win moves Villa level on points with Manchester City, while City stay ahead on goal difference after a 2-0 win against last-place Wolves on Saturday.
- Missing key players affected both sides, with Newcastle without Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton replaced injured by Jacob Ramsey, while Villa coped without Boubacar Kamara and John McGinn.
