Hello and welcome to live coverage of Newcastle United vs Aston Villa

That's full time. A deserved win for a limited Newcastle side, who had enough resilience to hold on against a wretched Villa.

N'Zogbia has the ball just outside the box, and slices his shot between a gap in the defence, and over.

Cleverley is booked for fouling Sissoko in the corner.

Okore concedes a corner as he slips, tumbling into Perez.

Four more minutes to go, but nothing looks likely to happen.

The pressure is not really growing.

There, apparently, will be six added minutes, presumably for when Haidara went down for treatment.

Ameobi whacks a cross straight at Clark and Newcastle keep hold of the ball.

Ameobi spreads play right for Gouffran, and his cross is sliced behind by Clark.

Clark is booked for a wild lunge on Gouffran on the right wing.

The last sub of the game for Villa.

Ameobi screams at the ref after he thinks he's fouled by Hutton on the left wing, but gets nothing, neither the free kick nor a telling off for dissent.

Gouffran is on for Obertan.

A deep corner from Ameobi, and Perez thunders a ball against the post after Guzan flaps at it.

Taylor takes a step or two to strike a free kick around the wall, low towards the corner, and Guzan does well to tip away for a corner.

Weimann on for Agbonlahor for Aston Villa.

Riviere is replaced by Perez.

Benteke wins a header at the back post, sending it to Westwood, who toes a pass for N'Zogbia, and he blasts his effort wide.

A ball played across the box, but Taylor comes steaming in to cover, like some kind of anti-Carrick, and puts it behind for a corner. Krul flaps at it and Newcastle somehow scramble it clear. It's worked left to Westwood, who curls a low pass to the back post, and he taps in only to find that he's offside.

Newcastle clear. Riviere finds Obertan with a great pass left, and Obertan strides into the box, cuts onto his right... and is tackled.
