Commentary
FULL-TIME: NEWCASTLE UNITED 0-1 ASTON VILLA
Surely putting the seal on another impressive personal performance, Suzuki leaps up high to claim a desperate high cross into his box. There are only seconds remaining now.
Nico Gonzalez sees a fierce 20-yard drive charged down, shortly before the assistant's flag is raised to indicate offside. Newcastle are running out of time to salvage something from this game.
Both Wissa and Nico Gonzalez have crosses partly cleared, before Hall topples over on the edge of Villa's area. The referee waves away some hopeful appeals for a free-kick.
The home fans still have hope, as six minutes of stoppage time are indicated by the fourth official. Will Villa be able to hang on for their second win in four days?

Jaissle goes for broke by sending on emergency striker Burn, who will add even more height to Newcastle's attack. Joelinton is the man to make way.
