60 min: Trippier receives a passs from WOltemade and tries to curl a cross intop the Newcastle penalty area. The ball hits Digne’s raised arm and it should be a penalty but the ref awards a free-kick just outside the area. Newcastle are getting royally shafted by the absence of VAR in this game.
58 min: Villa embark on a rare second-half sortie into the Newcastle half of the pitch with Amadou Onana on the ball. He does well to hold it up and win a free-kick for his side wide on the left. Digne’s delivery is semi-cleared by Newcastle and Villa work the ball back to Martinez.
57 min: Still seething, Ramsey overhits a pass to the byline which was meant for Tonali. It’s another Villa goal-kick.
