Newcastle miss killer instinct of Alexander Isak in draw at 10-man Aston Villa
Newcastle felt the absence of wantaway striker Alexander Isak as they were held to a 0-0 draw at 10-man Aston Villa.
Isak was left out by boss Eddie Howe as the Sweden international tries to force a move away from St James’ Park this summer.
But the Magpies could have done with their star man as they failed to find a way past Villa, who had Ezri Konsa sent off in the 66th minute.
