Aston Villa ended their 21-match winless streak at St James' Park with a stunning 2-0 victory over Newcastle United, thanks in large part to a breathtaking screamer from Emiliano Buendia. The Argentine midfielder's shot from just outside the box found the top corner with aplomb, and while Ollie Watkins also found the net late on, it was Buendia's goal that truly captured the essence of Villa's dominance.
Newcastle's usually reliable form had faltered in recent weeks, and they struggled to impose themselves on the game, struggling to create any clear-cut chances against a well-organised Villans' backline. Despite having plenty of possession, they found themselves on the back foot, with Villa's quick breaks and counter-attacks allowing them to dictate the pace of the match.
Buendia's goal was a rare moment of brilliance from the Argentine midfielder, but it was also a testament to his increasing influence in the Premier League. His ability to unlock defences with his vision and passing range has become a key factor in Villa's recent resurgence, and he is likely to be a major player in their push for European qualification.
For Newcastle, the defeat marked another disappointing performance on the road, as they have struggled to adapt to life outside of Europe this season. While they have shown flashes of brilliance at times, they have also been inconsistent, and their 2-0 loss to Villa is likely to be a wake-up call for Steve Bruce's team.
In contrast, Villa's victory has sent a clear message that they are capable of competing with the best teams in the league. Their win has lifted them out of the relegation zone, and while there is still much work to do, this result marks an important turning point in their season.

, like what's going on? Are they just really bad at scoring or something? 
And Emiliano Buendia just scores a screamer out of nowhere and suddenly Villa's all good to go 
. I think Newcastle was due for a loss, tbh 
. The Magpies are struggling this season and can't seem to get it together on the road 
. Meanwhile, Villa's finally breaking through and it's awesome 
️. I don't think Buendia's that influential yet though 
, he just got lucky with one shot 
.
I'm so stoked for Aston Villa after that 2-0 win over Newcastle! Emiliano Buendia's screamer was insane 
, I mean who needs a highlight reel when you've got that kind of skill on display? The way he just stepped up and nailed it from outside the box was pure magic 
. And let's be real, Villa's defence has been solid all season, so for them to shut down Newcastle like that is a huge statement 
.
. He's the kind of player who can unlock defences with his vision and passing range, and it's amazing to see him thrive in the Premier League. As for Newcastle, they're just not clicking on all cylinders right now 
. They've had some tough performances on the road, but that win over Villa will definitely be a wake-up call for Steve Bruce's team.
. They're still a long way from safety, but this result gives them some real momentum and confidence 
. And let's not forget, they've finally broken that 21-match winless streak 
and they just broke it out of the blue 
. I've been saying it for ages, Villa is on fire 
and this win over Newcastle is proof that they're not just a one-trick pony 
. Steve Bruce needs to figure out what's going wrong with his team because Newcastle's form has been all over the place lately 
and I'm loving every minute of it 
any team in the world would be lucky to have him on their team 
. buendia's goal was insane, he really is the key to villa's resurgence now, not just some flash in the pan player who pops up every now and then. steve bruce needs to sort out newcastle's defense or something 
. anyway, this win for villa has got everyone talking, they're definitely back in contention for european spots now.
! Buendia's screamer was insane, I mean who needs a highlight reel when you can just watch the real thing 
. He's been doing some amazing stuff for Villa lately and it's no surprise he was the hero today.
.
. Bring on the rest of the season! 
. Villa's resurgence is looking good tho, but let's not forget that Buendia's goal was a fluke 
.
!
. For Newcastle, it's time to wake up 
, they can't keep having these inconsistent performances on the road 
. Steve Bruce needs to sort out his team ASAP 
. Meanwhile, Aston Villa is on a roll 
and I'm loving every minute of it 
! 2-0 win at St James' Park is an incredible result for Dean Smith's side 
. They've got the momentum now and they're taking it to the top 
#VillaComeback #AstonVillaOnFire #BuendiaTheHero 
! He's been doing some magic for Villa lately and it's clear he's a key player in their team. I'm loving how they're starting to gel as a unit, all those quick breaks and counter-attacks paid off big time 
. I know they've been having some issues lately, but it's like they're still finding their footing outside of Europe 
️. Villa, on the other hand, are looking up 
Villa really needed that W to lift the squad's morale, it can't be easy being so close to relegation

!
That shot from outside the box was pure magic! I'm loving how Villa finally broke their winless streak, it's like they're back on track now 
!
they've had some great moments this season, but consistency has been a major issue. Steve Bruce needs to figure out how to get his team firing on all cylinders again 
anyone else saw it?
