The biggest favourites for returning in The Premier League -Newcastle United and Aston Villa started their participation in The Championship with defeats. The opponents of both teams showed them that it won’t be an easy task for The Magpies and The Villains to return in the most competitive division in the world.
The Magpies opened the season in The Championship on Friday with a visit to Fulham at Craven Cottage. And despite Newcastle kept their best players, they were shocked with a 1-0 defeat at the start of the competition. Matt Smith scored the only goal of the game after a great delivery by Cairney from a corner kick. But, Newcastle United must be very unhappy with the referee Simon Hooper, who didn’t see 3 penalties for handball in Fulham’s penalty area!
To continue with, The Villains were also surprised at the start of The Championship. Aston Villa lost 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday. Fernando Forestieri found himself unmarked in the 85th minute and scored after a terrible mistake in Aston Villa’s defence.
These two games came to show that life in The Championship won’t be easy for these two big English teams – Newcastle United and Aston Villa. However, they kept their world class players and will try their best to get back to where they belong – The Premier League. On the other hand, this year’s edition of The Championship will be extremely competitive, because there are also very good teams like Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich City, Derby County and so on.
Newcastle United’s next game is against Huddersfield Town at St. James’ Park, while The Villains are going to play against Rotherham United at Villa Park. So, this is the most appropriate moment for both teams to return to the victories’ way!
In conclusion, we have to say that both Newcastle and Aston Villa have a lot to improve, if they want to see their names in The Premier league again! Can they show their real faces?
