Watkins breaks goal drought as Villa sink Newcastle

The result lifted Villa two places up to 8 on 29 points from 17 games while Newcastle dropped one place to 16th on 19 points from 19 games

Birmingham: Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins scored his first Premier League goal in 10 games and midfielder Bertrand Traore added another to give them a 2-0 home win over struggling Newcastle United on Saturday.

It was no more than Villa deserved as they missed several chances to win by a bigger margin while the visitors lacked any edge with their midfield stifled out and unable to feed strikers Andy Carroll and Callum Wilson.

The result lifted Villa two places up to eighth on 29 points from 17 games while Newcastle dropped one place to 16th on 19 points from 19 games after a fourth successive defeat since the turn of the year. IANSHEADLINE: Watkins breaks goal drought as Villa sink Newcastle
