Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage from Villa Park where Aston Villa welcome Newcastle United in the Premier League.

FULL-TIME: 2-1. And that's it. Newcastle take all three points and deservedly so.

The ball remain prominently in the Villa half so looks like Newcastle will see this one out.

Cisse gets the ball caught under his feet as he looks to shimmy this way and that but he wins a throw deep in Villa territory.

And we have four of the added stuff for Villa to get a leveller.

Cabaye leaves the field to rapturous away applause. Sammy Ameobi on.

Agbonlahor must be rueing that miss now.

Newcastle are looking to play out the last few minutes with possession – this has been a consummate performance. Solid when required but always threatening.

Kozak and Benteke remain isolated figures up front.

Heading into the last few minutes here now and Newcastle look more than comfortable.

‘Crsis club’ Newcastle could have seven points from four games which is far from a disappointing return.

Gouffran has been bright but his shot from distance is easily claimed.

If they lose this, as season which started with such promise could begin to look one that may get into the murky waters of relegation fodder.

Westwood is still looking to do the right things but his ball loops out of play.

Delph gets in on the long range action but he cuts across the ball that fraction too much as it fizzes wide.

Tiote with a tester from distance but Guzan is its equal.

Ben Arfa and Gouffranare dovetailing to great effect here as Newcastle look to add another.

Ben Arfa is a player of supreme quality. His composure in a deep position sets in motion an attack that ends in Cisse heading wide from a Gouffran cross.

Tiote on for Anita to shore things further up, you'd assume.

Pards makes an immediate sub.

GOAAAL! Ben Arfa cuts in from the right, evades a couple of challenges before firing on goal – the shot is well-struck from the edge and Guzan can only push into the path of Gouffran, who with his second real touch gives Newcastle the lead. 2-1.
