Aston Villa bounce back from Tottenham rout as Sørensen makes winning start against Newcastle

Aston Villa Women earned a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United at Keys Park on Wednesday night, handing interim manager Brian Sørensen a winning start. The win marks Villa's second consecutive victory in the Subway Players Cup group stage, having previously defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0.

The result provided an immediate response following Sunday's 4-0 defeat against Tottenham and the departure of manager Natalia Arroyo. While Villa sit second-bottom and remain winless in the Women's Super League, the victory over an in-form Newcastle side offers positive momentum.
