Premier League: Watkins and Traore on target as Aston Villa beat Newcastle 2-0 (Highlights) 2020-2021

Aston Villa finish 2-0 winners over Newcastle United after an assured display.

The hosts took the lead early on through a header from Watkins and looked extremely comfortable from there. Newcastle threatened on occasion through Carroll's physicality in the box, but after Traore's brilliant finish just before half time, the game was over. In fact, Villa threatened to increase their lead in the second period, but a combination of misfortune and brilliance from Darlow ensured that the final score was 2-0.

The result means that Villa climb up to eighth while Newcastle fall to 16th.
