📸 Aston Villa continue worrying Premier League trend against Newcastle
It's a new season but the same old story for Aston Villa. Unai Emery's side suffered a repeat of a familiar trend after kicking off their Premier League campaign in Saturday's early kick-off against Newcastle United. A cagey encounter sprung into life midway through the second half when the hosts were reduced to ten men for Ezri Konsa's last-man foul on Anthony Gordon. It marked the third red card in the Villans' last four top-flight outings, following the dismissals of Emi Martínez and Jacob Ramsey at the tail end of last term. Worse still for Emery's men, they have followed up the third-highest number of dismissals in the league in the previous season with four red cards overall. 📸 ADRIAN DENNIS - AFP or licensors

Newcastle draws 0-0 at Aston Villa in Premier League after leaving out striker Isak
LONDON (AP) — Newcastle lacked a cutting edge without star striker Alexander Isak and drew 0-0 at Aston Villa on Saturday in the Premier League's opening round. Isak was left out as he tries to push for a move to defending champion Liverpool. New signing Anthony Elanga looked dangerous the right of Newcastle's attack, but the visitors could not make the most of their possession. Villa coped well after defender Ezri Konsa was sent off in the 66th minute for pulling back Anthony Gordon as he raced through on goal. Later Saturday, Manchester City was at Wolverhampton in the late game and before that it was: Brighton vs. Fulham; Sunderland vs. West Ham, and Tottenham vs. Burnley. Burnley, Sunderland and Leeds are newly promoted. Europa League winner Tottenham lost midweek to Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup. In memory of Jota A moment's silence was impeccably observed at Villa Park before the match in memory of the former Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Diogo Jota. A moment's silence is being held at all Premier League matches this weekend. On Friday, Liverpool players and fans paid moving tributes to Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, at Anfield before and during the match against Bournemouth. The brothers died in a car accident in Spain last month. Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-2 in a match marred by alleged racial abuse of Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo by a fan. On Saturday Semenyo thanked the soccer community for supporting him. ___ AP soccer:

Semenyo says alleged racist abuse at Liverpool 'will stay with me forever'
Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo said on Saturday the racist abuse he alleges was directed at him by a Liverpool fan at Anfield "will stay with me forever". But the Ghanian international added that the incident during the Premier League season opener on Friday had also shown football's "best side when it mattered most". Police have launched an investigation after Semenyo was abused by someone in the crowd during the first half of Liverpool's 4-2 win. Play was halted and a 47-year-old man was later ejected from the stadium. Semenyo, 25, went on to score twice as Bournemouth came back from 2-0 down but Liverpool scored two late goals to seal the win. "Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever -- not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together," Semenyo said on social media. "To my Bournemouth team-mates who supported me in that moment, to the Liverpool players and fans who showed their true character, to the Premier League officials who handled it professionally -- thank you. Football showed its best side when it mattered most. "Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play -- for moments like these, for my team-mates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be. "The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together," he added. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk described the incident as a "disgrace" and said it showed how much work needed to be done to educate people about racism. "What else can we do? Because this is the very odd one (case) that has managed to say something that is obviously a disgrace," the Dutchman said. "The only thing we can do is deal with it by dealing with him personally and try to educate the next generation. That is the only way to try and kick it out, in my opinion. "I can't believe it. These things shouldn't happen but unfortunately it does and it is an absolute disgrace in my eyes. "These things should never happen in the world, not only (never in) football." Van Dijk also said he was "here for Antoine, whenever he needs it and we are here as a club to deal with it in the best way possible because it shouldn't happen". gj/nr
