Aston Villa de Ten Men kept Newcastle to a 0-0 draw in his opening match of the Premier League season despite the Red Card of Ezri Konsa in the second half.
The URACAS were the best side of much of the match in Villa Park, approaching Anthony Elanga, Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes, but could not make their domain and the additional man, pay.
The key culminating point of the game occurred in the middle of the second half when Konsa retired to Gordon when he reached the goal, which resulted in successive red cards for Villa after the dismissal of Emiliano Martínez in his last game of the Premier League last season.
Aston Villa V Newcastle
Anthony Elanga could have opened his account only three minutes after his career in the Newcastle after competing after a Tyrone Mings slip, but his debutant partner in the goal of Villa Marco Bizot saved from the blank point range in what was a quick opening to the game.
Visitors remained the greatest threat in the opening stages, with Elanga hitting a shot after finding space in the box and Anthony Gordon in the direction of short distance.
Villa fought to click on the first half, giving the ball several times while fighting to deal with the pressure that the Magpies put them, that they will have been raised by their exhibition after a tumultuous summer amid the speculation about the future of striker Alexander Alexander Alexander.
While Newcastle was undoubtedly at the top, Villa managed to maintain the level of scores at rest, but Unai Emery will certainly want to improve in the second half.
Kansa sees red at the beginning of the second half
Villa began the second half with much more intensity with Boubacar Kamara in a direct direction to Nick Pope, before Ollie Watkins did the same with an effort.
But their hopes received a great blow when Ezri Konsa was shown a straight red card for denying a goal chance when he knocked Gordon when he was in the goal.
The Uracas won impulse from that moment and approached again, but a goal savings block by Matty Cash denied Harvey Barnes to fly home.
For Villa, the priority in the final stages seemed to be to hold on, with Kamara entering the position of Konsa in the center of the back.
