Quotes
“It’s been a long time not winning here [at the St James Park] and we’re so, so grateful how our supporters helped us and were motivating us. They are showing their wishes to be with us here," Villa manager Unai Emery said after his side's win over Newcastle.
“How we responded on the field in our game plan and individually, the players are protagonists to play with their skills, with their attitude, with their commitment – today disciplined defensively, disciplined offensively, respecting them but playing with personality. The players did a fantastic job.”
