00:00Look, Charles with the free kick, York, back to Charles, any number of players waiting, Milošević's header, Hislop's acrobatic stop.
00:14But that sweeping Villa move so nearly brought a classic goal, with Milošević still looking for his first goal at Villa Park, just a fingertip away.
00:23Beardsley, Gillespie, Beardsley loping forward in the centre, Ferdinand by the penalty spot, Barton, now Beardsley, back to Barton, this is better play, aim towards Schindler who thought about a shot, Ferdinand took it off him, Ferdinand shoots, and Ferdinand for once this season, puts it wide.
00:44Well he scored goals a plenty this season, from chances just like that, Schindler thought he might have had a shooting chance, Ferdinand said, no that's mine, and promptly scraped the post.
00:57McGrath, and now Gary Charles, Draper wants it, and Draper gets it, away from Beresford, away from Schindler, here's the cross, aim towards Johnson with the heading chance, Hislop can't keep it out can he?
01:13The referee looks to the linesman, and says goal!
01:19And no wonder Tommy Johnson is delighted, because as a boy, black and white blood coursed through his every vein, he was the most ardent of Newcastle supporters, and now he's scored against them.
01:33Draper always a danger, what a good header, and Peacock's efforts on the line were in vain.
01:38Draper is such a danger when, just on the edge of the penalty area, Johnson hasn't started many games this season, this one he's made a real mark on, 1-0 to Villa.
01:51Draper, Johnson is onside, Hislop comes out and acts as a sweeper, and he can be part of that piece of defensive work, Shaka Hislop.
02:00Johnson retreating, the flag stays down, here's Dwight York, Milosevic wants the cross, he tries a shot, and that wasn't too far away from the frame of the goal either.
02:14Well, for once this season, Messers McDermott, McMenemy and Keegan on the left have substantial food for thought.
02:28Southgate, played long for York, oh, good header in field, Johnson, struck it well, Hislop could only parry, and Milosevic was nearly in.
02:37Johnson's having a rare old time of it.
02:45Gillespie, Barton outside.
02:49Ferdinand by the penalty spot, Beardsley and Barton, usually that combination is so potent.
02:56This time it's back with Gillespie, twisting, turning, crossing, Southgate missed, here's Ginola, oh he struck it well.
03:03And that's as close as Newcastle have come this afternoon to an equalising goal.
03:10It's Gillespie who created the chance, Southgate at full stretch couldn't quite get it away.
03:14And Ginola struck it powerfully, and not far off target.
03:21Johnson, who spent much of the first half on the left hand side, now he's very much on the right.
03:26Giving Newcastle plenty to think about.
03:30Charles, York in the middle, it's over him, not over Milosevic.
03:36He couldn't take it quite in his stride.
03:38Ferdinand goes all the way through, past the keeper, classic striker's goal.
03:54Scored by the classic striker.
03:55Long, long ball downfield.
04:00Villa perhaps caught napping slightly, despairing challenge by the defender.
04:05Super finish by Ferdinand.
04:07Ehiog seemed to be with him.
04:10Still he was with him, then suddenly he wasn't.
04:13And a man deemed only good enough for the England bench is very much the Premiership's top scorer at the moment.
04:18Les Ferdinand, 1-1.
04:20Desperate defending at times from Villa now.
04:27They may be required to do some more.
04:28Barton.
04:30Beardsley.
04:32Ferdinand.
04:34Just momentarily about a shot.
04:35Beardsley again.
04:38He can be so dangerous with the ball at his feet.
04:40Lovely reverse pass.
04:41Ferdinand.
04:42Barton.
04:43Great save.
04:46It was lovely build up by Newcastle.
04:48The broad chest of Ferdinand proved to be productive after Beardsley had done his usual impish stuff.
04:56Ferdinand laid it on.
04:58Barton struck it well.
05:00The save was equal to it.
05:01Wonderful puck the save as he was equal to it.
