Gabby Agbonlahor has mocked Newcastle United's Champions League aspirations after watching Aston Villa inflict the Magpies' heaviest defeat of the season. The talkSPORT pundit could not resist the opportunity to taunt the Toon Army after Unai Emery's side recorded an emphatic 3-0 victory on Saturday afternoon.
Both teams went into the clash at Villa Park in good form, but the hosts made a dominant start and were rewarded after Jacob Ramsey fired them into an early lead. Ollie Watkins proved a constant menace throughout and continued his prolific return since the World Cup break by netting a second-half brace to seal the win.
Newcastle remain third in the table despite the heavy loss, with top-four rivals Tottenham suffering a shock home defeat to Bournemouth courtesy of a stoppage-time strike from Dango Ouattara. Villa strengthened their own case for European football and now sit just six points adrift of the Magpies, albeit having played a game in more.
