Carney Chukwuemeka – (On for McGinn 85’) N/A. PA

NEWCASTLE RATINGS: Martin Dubravka - 7: Not a save to make in first half, and not particularly busy in second even with Villa more of a threat. AFP

Kieran Trippier - 8: Captain for day in Jamaal Lascelle’s absence and scored his second free-kick in successive games, via a slight deflection. Was injury concern before game and limped off just after half-time in huge blow for Magpies. PA

Dan Burn - 9: Local boy making his debut and enjoyed a man-of-the-match performance. Calm and commanding from start to finish. Ripped a massive chunk out of Mings’ shirt in second-half tussle. Getty

Fabian Schar - 8: Looked in trouble after being caught in face by teammate Trippier’s arm in first five minutes but returned to action after long stoppage. Left with cut round eye that required more treatment and a bandage round his head. Didn’t stop him putting in committed shift. AFP

Javier Manquillo - 7: Looked in trouble after nasty landing resulted in ankle injury. Tried to carry on but limped off just before half-time bringing an early end to his 100th game for the club. PA

Jonjo Shelvey - 8: Fine game in midfield. Chased and harried Villa, made important challenges and was sensible in possession. Booked for scything down Ramsey. AFP

Joe Willock - 7: Clipped first-time shot well wide on 20 minutes. Starting to find a bit form in midfield and crowd appreciated his effort and workrate. PA

Joelinton - 7: Booked for trying to relieve Buendia of his shirt. Relishes his role in midfield where Newcastle are really benefitting from his hard graft. Distribution was great and made some important interceptions. Reuters

Ryan Fraser - 7: Scot is enjoying a good run in the team. Always busy, always looking for the ball and should have been put through on goal by Wood in first half. Another Newcastle player whose workrate was exemplary. Getty

Allan Saint-Maximin - 6: Quiet until 25th minute when he skipped past Cash and chipped ball into box but struggled to make impact as Villa regularly doubled up on him. PA

Chris Wood - 6: Couldn’t get any power or direction on header when picked out by Fraser and then hit abysmal shot high and wide with Fraser better placed just before half-time. AFP

SUBS: Paul Dummett – (On for Manquillo 45 + 4’) 7: Slotted straight in at left-back. No-nonsense defending was what Newcastle needed in second half. Getty

Emil Krafth – (On for Trippier 49’) 6: Played Watkins onside for goal that was disallowed by VAR but did OK for rest of half. Reuters

Bruno Guimaraes – (Willock 90 +2’) N/A. AFP

ASTON VILLA RATINGS: Emiliano Martinez - 6: Might have saved Trippier free-kick if not for deflection. Crazy decision to come charging out of box that almost resulted in Mings scoring an own goal. Reuters

Matty Cash - 7: Drilled shot just wide at start of second half and was given too much space by Newcastle as Villa found joy down Newcastle’s flanks after break. Helped keep Saint-Maximin relatively quiet. AFP

Calum Chambers - 6: First start for Villa but was a couple of centimetres from giving away clumsy penalty after fouling Willock … only for Trippier to belt home the resulting free-kick. PA

Tyrone Mings - 7: Headed over from corner just before break then nearly headed into his own net a minute later after rush of blood by goalkeeper. Left with half a shirt after tussle with Burn. Reuters

Lucas Digne - 6: Like Cash, made use of extra space he was given by Newcastle down his flank in second half but some of his final balls were poor. AFP

John McGinn - 6: Booked for chopping down Saint-Maxmin although looked like Scot got ball first. Had shot deflected just wide in first-half injury time but not his usual influential self for Villa. Getty

Douglas Luiz - 4: Woefully over-hit his first two set-pieces out for goal kicks – from a free-kick and a corner - which summed up Villa’s efforts in the first 45 minutes. Reuters

Jacob Ramsey - 5: Highly-rated midfielder bagged two against Leeds midweek but never looked like doing same on Tyneside. The 20-year-old had minimal impact on game. Getty

Emiliano Buendia - 6: His slight deflection on Trippier free-kick helped take shot away from Martinez. Looped header just wide minutes after Villa had goal disallowed. Getty

Philipe Coutinho - 4: Manager Steven Gerrard said before the game they are still building the Brazilian’s fitness and he contributed very little for Villa here. Reuters

Ollie Watkins - 5: Well marshalled by Newcastle in first half and barely touched the ball. Thought he had headed home leveller only for extremely tight VAR offside call. Reuters

SUBS: Danny Ings – (On for Watkins 73’) 5: Striker wasn't allowed any goalscoring opportunities. AFP

Leon Bailey – (On for Buendia 73’) 5: Did little on his return to action bar fouling Dummett and pick up a booking for bringing down Saint-Maximin. PA
