26: Barnes and Hall - sounding like an 80s country duo - stand over it again, but Aston Villa clear the delivery.

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

25: Free kick and yellow card for Gomes - much to the delight of the home fans.

He pulls back Fernandez-Pardo as the forward drives and it looks a bit soft for a booking.

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

Sky Sports News' Keith Downie at St James' Park:

> "St James’ Park not happy with referee Jared Gillet. Newcastle need to keep their heads here."

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

23: A corner for Newcastle is met with a roar of approval from the home fans.

It comes in towards the far post for Wissa - who we've seen very little of so far - but his contact bounces into space ahead of Suzuki, who collects.

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

21: This is bubbling up like a winter soup on the stove! Jarred Gillet has to keep the players and himself cool here.

A few crunching tackles since the double yellow card and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a sending off at some point if it carries on this way!

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

Sky Sports' Chris Sutton:

> "Botman is very fortunate."

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

20: NO RED CARD! VAR has looked at it and Botman stays on.

It was a really dangerous challenge on Jackson, but he somehow escapes a sending off.

That'll add a bit of needle to this one!

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

Sky Sports' Chris Sutton:

> "Joelinton launched in...and Botman was wild, he went over the ball! > > "Botman...a yellow? They are taking a look. > > "I think he is out of control."

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

Sky Sports' Callum Bishop:

> "That tackle from Botman is the sort that would make Gary Neville go 'ooooh'. > > "That is a really wild tackle. I wouldn't be shocked if we see VAR get involved here. The replay does him no favours at all. Jackson is a lucky boy to not be hurt more seriously."

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

18: Double yellow cards for Newcastle - Joelinton and Botman both into the book some pretty wild and reckless challenges on Manzambi and Jackson respcietlvey.

There's a VAR check here on the Botman challenge...

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

16: SIDE NET! Aston Villa doing the same at the other end now, this time Cash the one to rifle the ball into the side net.

He's shouting for a corner in the aftermath when a goal kick is given - but the decision stays as it is.

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

15: SIDE NET! Newcastle are back down the other end and it's a great underlapping pass from Willock that is found by Hall - but the latter smacks the ball into the wrong side of the net.

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

15: Aston Villa free kick in a good spot as Miley fouls Cash.

Buendia is over it - just over to the left - but he swings it well out of play.

A grimace after. He knows that wasn't his best.

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

Sky Sports News' Keith Downie at St James' Park:

> "Jackson looks dangerous for Villa. Fresh from his Champions League double in midweek he’s been so close to being in on Hornicek - twice."

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

Sky Sports' Chris Sutton:

> "That's a couple of times when Villa have countered."

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

14: Another break from Aston Villa and Jackson does do well to hold the ball up through the middle as he waits for reinforcements.

He eventually choses to play in Alysson making the run down the right of the area, but Hall defends it brilliantly well.

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

13: Hall swings it in, but Suzuki pushes it away strongly. Just a bit too close to the goal there.

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

12: Free kick in a good spot for Newcastle down the left as Willock is fouled by Cash.

Barnes and Hall having a pow wow over it...

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

Sky Sports' Callum Bishop:

> "That is Jackson in a nutshell. Where he is a brilliant is causing defenders all sorts of troubles just like he did with that neat footwork. > > "What let him down, was his finishing. A criticism that has often been levied at the former Chelsea man."

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa

Sky Sports' Chris Sutton:

> "He did everything right up until this finish! > > "Tremendous from Alysson. The balance and the drive. > > "Newcastle nearly made to pay from their own corner."
