(3/3). Villa adopted the man to man press which they capitalised on from an NUFC mistake. Winning the ball in high areas to allow them to attack NUFC backline on transition.

(2/3). Villa's 2nd goal came from this approach. Martinez enticing the press. Rogers finding space to receive with Trippier reluctant to go tight. Maatsen attacking threat with the overlap.

🎥⚽️Match Analysis . Aston Villa vs Newcastle . AVFC In Possession . Villa's approach in possession changed in game. NUFC strength pressing and man to man defending, Villa changed to be more direct to beat the press. This led to 1v1 duels in attacking areas. (1/3)
