Ex-Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor was left deflated after his former side capitulated 4-0 to an inspired Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
While the Magpies were not in full flow during the first half, they still went into the break 1-0 thanks to Callum Wilson's penalty.
However, the second half saw Eddie Howe's side run rampant, putting three more goals past Villa. Wilson added another before Joelinton and Miguel Almiron wrapped up proceedings to secure another huge win for Newcastle.

In recent times, Agbonlahor has not shied away from taking aim at Newcastle, which has not gone down well with supporters.
However, the ex-Villa striker was left with egg on his face after the Magpies ran rampant against his former team, who looked lost at St James' Park.
With Steven Gerrard having departed recently, Unai Emery is set to take charge of Villa in the coming days.
Speaking on talkSPORT Agbonlahor said : "Today looked like an Aston Villa side that, we saw this under Steven Gerrard, they play Chelsea and deserved to win that game with the chances they had.
"Then they play the next game and are dreadful. Then they win 4-0 against Brentford, and then today, it's like poor Aston Villa again. Where was that energy from last week? That commitment?
"They looked like a team that really needs a new manager to come in now, and really sort out these players and pick which players he's going to want to keep and which players he's going to want to move on because that was a battering today. I've not seen Aston Villa battered like that in a long time."
