Newcastle draws 0-0 at Aston Villa in Premier League after leaving out striker Isak

Newcastle United played a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park on August 16, 2025, in a Premier League match.
The match followed a turbulent summer for Newcastle, with striker Alexander Isak absent due to a strike amid a transfer saga involving Liverpool.
Ezri Konsa of Aston Villa received the first red card of the Premier League season for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity against Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon.
Referee Craig Pawson showed no hesitation in the decision, which was confirmed by VAR, while pundit Ally McCoist agreed the sending off was unavoidable.
Konsa will miss Villa’s next match due to suspension, while Newcastle must resolve the Isak transfer issue ahead of their next game against Liverpool on August 25, 2025.
