Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill was delighted for John Carew after his hat-trick against Newcastle United.

O'Neill said: "John showed in the second half the kind of form he is capable of. He was unplayable during that time.

"He has fitted in really well here, been excellent in the dressing room and I have been pleased with him but he can do even better.

"What I would look for from John is to get more a consistency from him."
