Five stats to explain Aston Villa's 1-0 win over Newcastle: Kamara is back
Story updated
The story in brief
36-second read1-0 win against Newcastle was both a tremendous team effort and also featured some strong individual performances. Park is always a very tough place to win as an away side, and visitors know they must be up for a battle if they want to walk away with three points.
Villa were up for it, and outfought Newcastle on their own pitch. Five Villa players won at least 60% of their ground duels on Saturday: Boubacar Kamara won 63% (ten out of 16), Emi Buendia won 69% (nine of 13), John McGinn won 60% (six of ten), and Johan Manzambi and Ibrahim Mbaye both won 80% (four of five).
No Newcastle player involved in four or more ground duels won 60% of them, and only Lewis Hall more than half (55%, six of ten).
