With a man down Aston Villa were still able to hold down Newcastle at home as they played out a goalless draw to begin their 2025/26 season campaign. In a bet I had played earlier I didn't see a winner from the game and I went for a both teams to score option, I was actually expecting a 1 - 1 draw and not a goalless draw that's why I went for this very option but at the end it still failed.
It was a very terrible game for Newcastle today even though they had more ball possession. I knew Isak wasn't going to be in the game, but I expected them to score at least a goal. Gordon played the number 9, but was literally awful today. I played Newcastle to score first goal, but Gordon decided to mess with the ball through out the game. Same thing goes for Elanga, and I could remember yelling after he missed a chance in the early minutes of the game.
Gordon was just too awful. I'm not sure of Newcastle's current relationship with Isak at this point, but they need to make peace with him and bring him back In the game. Suffering a bet loss and FPL point loss because of his absence is quite disappointing.
