Comments:

League position: 9th Aston Villa had now scored two or more goals in five consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2008. Danny Ings became the fourth player to score in both of his first two games for Villa in the Premier League; also Dalian Atkinson in 1992, Dion Dublin in 1998 and Ross Barkley in 2020. They had now scored 100 goals in 78 games in the Premier League under manager Dean Smith (conceded 116). Aston Villa were awarded a penalty after 62 minutes following a VAR review for handball.

Comments:

League position: 19th Newcastle United failed in their attempt to win three consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2001. The Magpies had now failed to win their second game in each of the last ten league seasons (lost seven). They had now lost 11 of their last 19 games in the Premier League played in August (won two). Newcastle United were awarded a penalty after 75 minutes but was reversed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
