FT: Newcastle 1-1 Aston Villa

The
point does, however, leave Newcastle 16th and two points above Fulham
in the final relegation place, having now played the same number of
games.
This weekend, Brighton, in 17th, travel to Southampton, while Fulham host Manchester City.
Jacob Murphy whips a cross in from the left and Jamaal Lascelles produces a bullet header to surely earn his side a point.
Unbelievable drama at the end.
Aston Villa's goal has now been given as a Ciaran Clark own-goal, but
I'm sure he won't care about that after Jamaal Lascelles' last-minute

A
hugely frustrating outcome for Aston Villa in the end. That late
equaliser prevents them from moving above Liverpool and they could find
themselves cut adrift in the race for a European place this weekend.

Newcastle have now won just two of their last 17 Premier League matches.
They've drawn three in a row for the first time since August 2011.
How are you feeling after that, Newcastle fans?
