Newcastle couldn't find a winner as Villa ended the game with 10 players and will be much happier with the point.

After a nightmarish pre-season, Newcastle United faces another major hurdle when it gets its Premier League campaign up and running at Aston Villa on Saturday.

Newcastle dominated the first-half, although neither side broke the deadlock. Anthony Elanga was played through on goal early doors, but his shot was saved. The visitors ended up having eight shots, while Villa did not trouble Nick Pope in the Newcastle goal once.
