Well done on the hat trick.

Brilliant job today Joao!

We were brilliant it what was a six pointer. Job done and hopefully we also win against Newcastle in a round in which one of United or Villa drop points. Maybe both if the match ends in a draw. Would be even better.

In other words, the league is over. City are way too soft with that midfield and those bang average defenders. Will probably knock Real Madrid out, but Bayern will rip them a new one for sure.

Fantastic performance. Critical of us on the whole on and and off the pitch, but this game in isolation was very impressive, and enjoyable to watch.

Great result and a very enjoyable second half. Well done to Joao Pedro on his hattrick.

We simply needed that win to have a chance to play Champions League football next season.

Wow a wonder strike for Newcastle 2-1

10-men Newcastle have just taken the lead !

I know that Villa were both poor and naive, playing into our hands but without doubt the most entertaining performance from us tonight. Thoroughly enjoyed it actually.

The plaudits will naturally go to the front players who were great but I was also really impressed with Hato tonight. Deserves a run tbh, even though Cucu is back.

Only question I do have, is Sarr injured atm?

5 minutes of added time, and they've played 9 so far ... Fergie time lives on !

Excellent - Mancs lose ... well done Newcastle !!!

Incredibly, we're now only 3 points off third place LOL

A good midweek for us with regards to the results of rival teams for top 5. I watched the end of the Newcastle game. Ramsdale looked good for them. Surprised we didn't go for him as a goalkeeper option last summer.

Ramsdale is awful generally. He never positions himself well, which is why when he does make great saves, it's usually because he isn't in the right position. He's also not a goalkeeper to rely on from set pieces.

Excellent win and a very good performance.

James and Pedro outstanding and kudos to Garnacho.

Probably our best 90 minute performance in the league this season.

I think we might go for Trafford.

Well that was pretty convincing in the end. Forward players all clicked. Enzo and Garnacho with some key contributions. Palmer and Pedro with the goals. While Chalobah and Hato were solid at the back.

No idea if we’ve just turned a corner or Villa are just falling apart and we caught them at the right time. Still, a good night and they’ve been in short supply of late.

Hopefully we are turning a corner, Villa are certainly falling apart though.

Joao Pedro scores his first of his hat trick.

Mainly this, though we capitalised on it which is the bonus.

Yet many times in the past weve been just the team for anyone falling apart to play, we gift them results. This time we played them at the right time but battered them.

I thought we had bought a dud in Pedro, but turns out he's pretty good!!
