Newcastle vs Aston Villa: What has been said?

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe praised his side’s 2-1 victory at Ibrox.

Howe told the club website: “Coming to a big stadium, you have to deal with the ferocious home support and we did that.

“Bits of the first half were outstanding and we played some really good football.

“The second half was not as pretty and we made lots of changes, but you would expect that. However, we found a way to win again and that’s a good thing.”

“The lads have come back fit and in a really good place,” Howe added. “I expect them to [perform well] – I see it every day in training.

“The technical delivery of our gameplan was high but, for all our football, we did not really hurt them enough. We scored a great goal with good passages of play but there are other things we can improve.”
