Aston Villa made a nice surprise for coach Unai Emery in his debut, as they beat Manchester United at home with a score of 3-1. The "Red Devils" could not resist the momentum of the locals and conceded two quick goals, which came within four minutes, respectively in the 7th and 11th.
It was Bailey who opened the scoring as he made no mistake against De Gea, and then the Spanish goalkeeper had little to do after a superb Lucas Digne free-kick.
Late in the first half, it looked like United might turn the tide of the game as Luke Shaw's shot was deflected wide of the goal by Ramsey, resulting in an own goal. However, in the second half, Ramsey atoned for the mistake as he scored the third for his team-mates. Until the end, the numbers did not change and after this loss, United remains in fifth place with 23 points, while on the other hand, Aston Villa is 14th with 15 points.
In the next game, Newcastle confirmed their excellent form with The Magpies recording their fourth consecutive league triumph. This time the "victim" was Southampton who surrendered unconditionally in their own field with the score 1-4. The one who unlocked the result was the usual Almiron in the first half, while in the second half, Wood, Willock and Guimaraes "killed" the hopes of the locals for a positive result. After this success, Newcastle climbs to third place with 27 points, while Southampton ranks 18th with 12 points. So, the challenge between West Ham United and Crystal Palace ended with the result 1-2.
