The defender’s first-half strike gave Newcastle a 1-0 win and a third successive victory to boost their survival hopes

Three wins in a row have not merely lifted a once apparently doomed side out of the relegation zone but breathed new life into a club transformed under their controversial new Saudi Arabian-led ownership.

£12m was spent on Trippier as much for his crossing and dead ball acumen as his defensive attributes and when his side won a free-kick fractionally outside the 18 yard area there was only one man for the job. That set piece was awarded after a VAR review had overruled Craig Pawson’s initial decision to give a penalty after Calum Chambers sent the accelerating Joe Willock tumbling. If Villa were relieved it proved an extremely temporary reprieve.

Yet hard as John McGinn worked in the visiting midfield and as undeniably successful as Villa were in forcing Newcastle to resort to sending Chris Wood chasing long balls and lost causes, they created very few chances of their own.Photograph: Lee Smith/Action Images/Reuters When, to collective groans, a calf injury forced Trippier off both Gerrard and Coutinho sensed opportunity. Emil Krafth had barely stepped off the bench before the latter was skipping away from him. Within seconds Coutinho had unleashed a defence-bisecting through ball and although Ollie Watkins could not quite make the most of it, Howe and his assistant, Jason Tindall, exchanged anxious technical area glances.
