On This Day
No poor refereeing decisions this time but Villa lose their 6th game in 7 having not won in 8 since the opening day of the season and remain joint bottom of the table alongside Everton.
Villa take the lead, lose the lead, equalise as George Edwards scores an excellent solo goal for his second in two games before Newcastle hit two more to consign Villa to another defeat.
Winger Jock Mulraney makes his debut for Villa aged 32 after joining from Kidderminster Harriers the previous evening.
