Newcastle United have produced their fourth 6-0 win of the EPL season, defeating Aston Villa at St James' Park.
An Andy Carroll hat-trick and a Kevin Nolan double helped the Magpies to a special win in only their second match back in the top flight as they atoned for last week's 3-0 loss to Manchester United in great fashion.
