Newcastle open the scoring completely against the run of play before Villa quickly equalise but it's at a cost as goalscorer Walker gets a bloody nose and is forced off the field temporarily. 

Newcastle bombard the 10-men of Villa's goal "without any great intelligence" to no avail.

Ian Dickson scores for the seventh time in eight games as Villa bounce back from a second defeat in three to help secure a first win in five with victory at St James' Park. 

Villa make it ten wins, two draws and eight defeats in twenty division one games.

Villa remain 7th in the table.
