Aston Villa 1 Newcastle 3 – Saturday 14 February 2026 5.45pm
The photo that Newcastle United fans all really wanted to see on Saturday evening!
Eddie Howe leads his team to a brilliant victory.
Aston Villa bore all the luck AND the terrible decisions of the match officials.
Yet the good guys still win in the end.
Eddie Howe and his players eventually won thanks to two goals from Sandro Tonali and a late goal from birthday boy Nick Woltemade.
United to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
A winning post-match snapshot.
The most important winning photo = The nineteenth of the season.
Consecutive wins, consecutive away wins, two shots in a row.
Newcastle United’s head coach introduced this tradition of a photo with everyone after every post-match win, as he felt this had worked as a bonding exercise when he was at Bournemouth.
It’s also a huge bonus how much it excites fans of certain other clubs and journalists.
‘Look at them, think they won the Premier League/Champions League…etc.’
I absolutely love it.
At least 15 more games to go this season in all competitions, so hopefully there will be quite a few more of these photos to come.
