"Shortly after Lucas Digne avoided a red card for a late challenge on Jacob Murphy, the latter was released by Harvey Barnes' hoisted pass, and Bizot came 40 yards off his line to recklessly scythe him down. With Bailey sacrificed for substitute goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, Villa came under pressure early in the second half and were fortunate that Digne did not concede a penalty for handling Kieran Trippier's cross."
"But their resistance was broken by Tonali's deflected strike in the 63rd minute from that resulting free-kick, and the Italian completed the turnaround when he lasered an effort into the bottom-left corner with 14 minutes to play. Newcastle made certain of the result when Birthday boy Nick Woltemade finished high into the roof of the net in the 88th minute, after Pau Torres inadvertently played the ball into his path."
Newcastle United recovered from an early deficit to defeat Aston Villa 3-1 in the FA Cup fourth round. Tammy Abraham opened scoring in the 14th minute, appearing offside from Douglas Luiz's free-kick. Marco Bizot was sent off for a last-man foul on Jacob Murphy after coming off his line, forcing Emiliano Martinez to replace an outfield player. Sandro Tonali scored a deflected free-kick in the 63rd minute and a long-range strike with 14 minutes remaining. Nick Woltemade sealed the win in the 88th minute after Pau Torres' misplay.
