Benched in their 2nd leg quarter-final tie against PSG, Ollie Watkins has shown his manager what they have missed as the Englishman scores in the first minute of the match.

Fabian Schar has equalised for Newcastle and its 1-1 in the match. It comes from a Harvey Barnes cross to the back post which is met by Fabian Schar who heads it through the legs of Emi Martinez.

A free-kick for Villa and is whipped in nicely and the ball falls nicely to Ollie Watkins but the Englishman hits the woodwork for the second time.

A great watch this! Chance at both ends for Newcastle as well as Villa with either of the goalkeepers keeping their net safe.

A nail-biting affair this game! Chances at either ends as we just cannot wait for the 2nd half to begin. Watkins could have had a hat-trick whereas Magpies missed few chances of their own.

More to come.

Goals from Ian Maatsen (64'), a Dan Burn own-goal (73' og) and Amadou Onana goals have blitzed away the Magpies.

Newcastle United could have gone one point off Arsenal in the PL table but today's performance has derailed those hopes.

Villa with the subs as Marcus Rashford, Ross Barkley and Donyell Malen replace Ollie Watkins, Morgan Rogers and Boubacar Kamara.

Six minutes of added time and Villa can put the Magpies out of their misery.
