Johan Manzambi scores winner for Aston Villa against Newcastle
Johan Manzambi scored the decisive goal for Aston Villa in a 1-0 Premier League victory against Newcastle United at St James’ Park. The 21-year-old Swiss midfielder secured the win in the 36th minute with a header following a cross from João Gomes.
This victory marks a significant turnaround for Unai Emery’s side, extending their unbeaten run to five matches across all competitions and moving them up to 12th in the league table. Manzambi, who joined Villa in a reported club-record deal from Freiburg after a near-move to Newcastle, has now recorded five goal involvements in his recent appearances.
Newcastle struggled to create clear opportunities, failing to register a single shot on target during the first half. Despite pressure in the second half and a notable save by Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, the home side could not find an equalizer. The loss follows a difficult week for Newcastle, who also suffered a heavy defeat to Coventry City earlier in the week.
