Unai Emery and Villa have been hamstring by the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR), and have enjoyed a quiet window so far after their hectic winter. Things surely would’ve played out differently had they usurped Newcastle in the table on the final day.

Eddie Howe's side showed how good they can be against Aston Villa, but their lack of firepower up front denied them a deserved win

The Villa fans started a chant, “Premier League, corrupt as f---,” and it drew applause from the away section. When Newcastle supporters started the chant, they were given a round of applause by Villa fans. In the end, everyone inside Villa Park started chanting it together.
