Premier League 2025-26: Villa holds Newcastle in the stalemate despite Konsa Red Card


Aston Villa survived the resignation of defender Ezri Konsa to save a 0-0-drawing game at home in Newcastle United in his Premier League opener on Saturday, where the visitor was a random need for random striker Alexander Isak who created opportunities but did not end.

The new signing of Newcastle Anthony Elanga scored almost in the third minute, but Marco Bizot made an excellent reflection on his competition debut to refuse the winger and the Dutchman was called in a few times as the side of Eddie Howe dominated.

Villa succeeded in stabilizing the ship, but was confused in the 66th minute when Konsa was shown a straight red card for downing Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon while he was in hot pursuit of a ball of Elanga.

Newcastle continued to cross in the box, but without a recognized Center-Forward such as Sweden International Isak, who wants to leave in the midst of interest from Champions Liverpool, it could not convert them and ended the game in a stalemate.
