This win means Villa are only outside the top five on goal difference.
Solanke reveals his mindset when facing Eintracht crowd during penalty moment
They're a point off Man City in fourth, and just two off the Magpies now.
It's five league wins in a row too as they hit form at the exact right time.
11 hours ago21:18
Villa haven't lost at home in the league since their very first game at Villa Park this season.
It's also now 19 unbeaten in a row across all competitions, one off the club record.
Like last season, Emery has made this place a fortress.
11 hours ago21:16
Villa have goals everywhere you look.
One sub scored, the other forced an own goal, while Marcus Rashford and Donyell Malen are now on too.
Emery's January business has given them so many options.
11 hours ago21:10
10 minutes left here, and it will require a comeback to top any seen this week for Newcastle to rescue anything here.
They look shellshocked.
11 hours ago21:06
VILLA PARK IS BOUNCING!
11 hours ago21:06
GOOOOAL! WHAT A HIT FROM ONANA!
Emery has worked his magic.
His side's fourth goal comes from another sub, Amadou Onana who curls a hammer shot past Pop after Newcastle fail to deal with players in the box.
11 hours ago21:04
GOOOOAL!!! ASTON VILLA MAKE IT 3-1
Jacob Ramsey comes on, and right away makes an impact.
His low fizzing cross from the left is turned in by the unfortunate Dan Burn, who beat Tielemans to the ball but also his own keeper.
That could be the game.
11 hours ago20:59
Villa hadn't lost in 18 games heading into today, and right now it looks like extending to 19.
Newcastle are still in it though, and Anthony Gordon is now on.
12 hours ago20:55
GOAAAAAL! VILLA RETAKE THE LEAD!
We said goals were coming, and Villa are the ones to get it.
Newcastle are caught out as Ian Maatsen overlaps on the left, and fires past Pope.
What a way to grab your first Premier League goal!
12 hours ago20:51
This half has been more of the same, with both sides going for the win.
Tielemans header was cleared off the line, but goals seem imminent.
12 hours ago20:35
Back under way at Villa Park!
12 hours ago20:20
HALF TIME!
A thrilling 45 minutes between two of the Premier League's in-form sides.
It's a wonder there's only been two goals.
12 hours ago20:16
This is the Watkins and Schär show.
The striker goes down under contact from the Swiss defender, and looks for a penalty.
A quick check shows that there was no foul.
12 hours ago20:09
Villa look the likelier to get the third goal, but Newcastle have been lethal in front of goal late.
12 hours ago19:59
OFF THE WOODWORK!
Watkins could have had a hat-trick, hitting the woodwork for a second time.
He found space in the box and cannoned a header against the post.
Newcastle can't contain him right now.
13 hours ago19:51
WHAT A CHANCE!
This game is end to end, and Marco Asensio has just missed a golden chance to put Villa in front again right away.
He miscues a cutback with the goal almost at his mercy, as Newcastle breathe a sigh of relief.
13 hours ago19:50
GOAL!
Newcastle are level, and it's Schär just as the script writers would have wanted.
The defender peels off at the back post, and heads in Harvey Barnes' excellent cross.
13 hours ago19:48
Youri Tielemans has been a standout for Unai Emery's side this season, and today is starting his 49th game out of a possible 51.
Remarkable consistency from the Belgian.
13 hours ago19:45
Newcastle have not settled at all, and it's hard to blame them.
Villa are looking for a second.
13 hours ago19:36
What a way for Watkins to make his case for more regular starts.
He's scored and hit the bar inside the opening five minutes.
13 hours ago19:36
33 seconds to be precise!!!!
13 hours ago19:35
GOAL!
Ollie Watkins amazingly gives the hosts the lead inside a minute.
He cuts inside and sees his effort take a massive deflection off Fabian Schär and past Nick Pope.
Incredible.
13 hours ago19:32
