Premier League 2025-26: 10-man Aston Villa Rescue A Point In Stalemate Vs Newcastle United
Aston Villa: Newcastle United were held to a goalless draw by Aston Villa in their opening Premier League match of the 2025/26 season at Villa Park on Saturday, despite the hosts going down to ten men in the second half.
Newcastle dominated the first half, creating multiple chances. Just two minutes in, debutant Anthony Elanga had a clear opportunity, but his shot was saved by Marco Bizot, who was also making his Villa debut. Anthony Gordon, playing as a central forward instead of his usual left-sided role, was instrumental in creating space. Harvey Barnes found him unmarked with a cross, but Gordon's header went over the bar.
Barnes continued to be involved, sending in another cross that reached Elanga at the far post, but his volley was off target. Gordon later forced Bizot into another save with a deflected shot.
