Newcastle 0-2 Aston Villa A very professional Aston Villa performance gives them their first Premier League victory at St James' Park since 2005, when Juan Pablo Angel and Gareth Barry were the scorers. Crystal Palace 1-3 Chelsea Crystal Palace's miserable run goes on and last season's FA Cup winners are having a shocking time. They sold captain Marc Guehi, top scorer Jean-Philippe Mateta wants to leave, manager Oliver Glasner is leaving and now midfielder Adam Wharton will be out of their next match after getting sent off. But Chelsea, with Estevao, Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez scoring, were already well on course for the three points before Wharton's dismissal. A late goal from Chris Richards was nothing more than a consolation. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say Newcastle's game play is so predictable and frankly awful. Nobody really driving through the middle or coming inside and shooting from edge of box. Poor Liam, Sheffield Newcastle 0-2 Aston Villa Ian Maatsen goes down in the Newcastle penalty area and wants a penalty but referee Jarred Gillett waves that one away. Crystal Palace 1-3 Chelsea Yeremy Pino floats in a cross and Ismaila Sarr meets it with a header, but it is straight at Robert Sanchez. Newcastle 0-2 Aston Villa Harvey Barnes cuts in off the left and shoots but his effort hits Nick Woltemade on the back and drifts wide. That sums up Newcastle's afternoon. Newcastle 0-2 Aston Villa Plenty of home fans heading for the exits now. Newcastle 0-2 Aston Villa Ian Maatsen tugs Anthony Elanga's shirt and takes a yellow card. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say Ollie Watkins has really looked like he’s not been in good touch today, but that’s lovely movement and great perseverance to keep trying and keep searching for the chance, and eventually it paid off. He’s such an asset to Villa, and would be for any team. Benjamin, Cheltenham Crystal Palace 1-3 Chelsea Mark Schwarzer Former Chelsea and Fulham goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at Selhurst Park A lot of bodies in the box and Sánchez does really well from the first shot, there's a ricochet from another shot from a Palace player, that goes to Richards to head in at close range. Newcastle 0-2 Aston Villa Ollie Watkins has scored six goals in 11 appearances in the Premier League against Newcastle. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say It may not be popular opinion, but Glasner has to take most of the rap for this. It's clear he's lost the dressing room. When things go wrong it's never his fault. If I were the owner of a big club, I wouldn't touch Glasner with a bargepole. Stuart Brentford 0-2 Nottingham Forest Dango Ouattara with a chance to set up an exciting finish, but the Brentford man on the six-yard box can only power a header over the top. Newcastle 0-2 Aston Villa Michael Brown Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live at St James' Park I said these Aston Villa players won't be phased by the record of not winning here at St James' Park since 2005. Villa smothered the edge of the area and kept it coming. Ollie Watkins can't believe his luck. He heads it down beyond Nick Pope. That should be game done for Aston Villa. Ollie Watkins Game over. Newcastle struggle to clear from a corner and when the ball is transferred out to Lucas Digne he picks out Ollie Watkins at the back stick to nod home. Brentford 0-2 Nottingham Forest Luke Chambers Former Nottingham Forest defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2 What a goal from absolutely nothing. Brilliant carnage, a ruthless counter attack from Forest puts them 2-0 up. Newcastle 0-1 Aston Villa Lewis Hall's misplaced pass puts Ollie Watkins in possession and the Aston Villa forward takes aim from about 25 yards. His effort flies towards the top left corner but Nick Pope tips it over. Chris Richards (Crystal Palace) One of the scrappiest goals you could wish to see as Chelsea can't clear the ball inside their own penalty area and it bounces around. But it then drops to Chris Richards and he heads in a consolation and 10-man Crystal Palace at least have a goal to cheer. Newcastle 0-1 Aston Villa High fives from Tyrone Mings and Lucas Digne as they see the ball out for an Aston Villa goal kick. Last Updated 25th January 2026 at 15: 59 Please Note: All times UK.
