While it was widely expected that Unai Emery and Aston Villa would give Newcastle United a tough game, it's safe to say many were caught off guard by the weight of the result that followed on Saturday afternoon.
The 3-0 dismantling of Eddie Howe's men is something that Magpies fans haven't experienced a lot in recent memory, marking just the second time in all competitions this season they've conceded three goals in one match.
Perhaps the one saving grace came would come later that afternoon, hundreds of miles down south in the nation's capital, when a 95th-minute goal from Bournemouth's Dango Ouattara spared Newcastle blushes by making sure Tottenham stayed three points behind them in fifth.
