Jonjo Shelvey’s late equaliser came as a welcome surprise for Steve Bruce’s Magpies, who had fallen behind to a Kevin De Bruyne belter.
Earlier Jetro Willems scored his second of the season to cancel out Raheem Sterling's opener. Here’s how our NUFC writer Liam Kennedy rated individual's performances.

Brought in from the cold but showed exactly why Steve Bruce opted for him ahead of Emil Krafth. Excellent going forward. Photo: Alex Livesey
6. Jonjo Shelvey - 8
Barely put a foot wrong and performance deserved the goal. In a hit and miss season, this was very much the Shelvey of Bournemouth and not Villa. Photo: Stu Forster
7. Isaac Hayden - 7
Plenty of crunching challenges in a whole-hearted, battling display. Photo: Ian MacNicol
8. Jetro Willems - 8
He may be left-footed but another goal with his right foot - and another cracker against a Champions League side. Photo: Ian MacNicol
