Fabian Schar’s two goals secure victory for Newcastle, ending their run of defeats in the Premier League, with a scoreline of 3-1 against Aston Villa.
Newcastle United’s Swiss defender, Fabian Schar, was the hero of the night as he scored a rare quickfire double to secure a glorious 3-1 victory for his team against Aston Villa at Villa Park. This defeat marked Villa’s first home Premier League loss of the season.
The win was a much-needed boost for Newcastle, who had been on a four-game losing streak in the Premier League. Unai Emery’s side had the opportunity to move up to second place in the table with a win, but they were left stunned by Schar’s impressive performance.
Schar opened the scoring for Newcastle in the 32nd minute, calmly finishing from six yards after connecting with Kieran Trippier’s corner. Just four minutes later, he struck again with his right foot, tapping the ball into the net after an Anthony Gordon effort deflected off the underside of the bar.
Newcastle sealed the victory with a third goal in the 52nd minute, as Villa full-back Alex Moreno inadvertently bundled the ball into his own net after colliding with a post from a mishit Jacob Murphy finish.
Although Ollie Watkins managed to score a consolation goal for Villa in the 71st minute, it was not enough to salvage a result for his team. Newcastle had thoroughly outplayed their opponents throughout the match.
This defeat for Villa marked their first Premier League loss at home since their 4-2 defeat against Arsenal 11 months ago. Additionally, Newcastle’s victory ended an 11-year wait for a league win at Villa Park.
Overall, it was a memorable night for Newcastle United and their fans, as Fabian Schar’s exceptional performance secured a crucial victory and put an end to their losing streak in the Premier League.
