Mehrdad Ghodoussi and Jamie Reuben have urged Newcastle United and the Toon Army to move on from a 'bad day at the office' in the defeat to Aston Villa. The Magpies co-owners both took to social media after Eddie Howe's side fell to a heavy defeat at Villa Park on Saturday lunchtime.
Both teams went into the contest in good form, but an early Jacob Ramsey strike and a second-half brace from Ollie Watkins sealed a comfortable 3-0 victory for the hosts. Newcastle remain third in the table, although they will be leapfrogged by Manchester United if the Red Devils avoid defeat at Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon.
It is only a fourth Premier League defeat of the campaign for the Magpies, and a rare poor display in what has otherwise been a stunning campaign to date. Ghodoussi praised Villa for their performance, and urged the team and supporters to 'focus' upon next week's home clash with top-four rivals Tottenham.
