Newcastle 1-1 Villa MOTM: Pick your top star on Tyneside


It's a tough one this week as fans are asked to pick their man of the match following Villa's impressive draw at Newcastle.

Paul Lambert summed it up best in his BBC Sport interview, hailing every member of his team "excellent" at the Sports Direct Arena.

But you have to select your top star from the exciting game on Tyneside.

AVTV summariser Ken McNaught picked out Stephen Ireland after the game and the midfield ace would certainly be a good selection, showing silky skills on the ball as well as a willingness to work his socks off for the team.

Brad Guzan, in for Shay Given, performed heroics, making two "world-class" saves - as Lambert referred to them - to deny the home side any more than a point.

Karim El Ahmadi shone in the central ground while Andreas Weimann did his usual shift up top alongside the predatory Darren Bent.

Ciaran Clark defended well and scored the goal for Villa while his backline partner Ron Vlaar was a rock.

Matt Lowton marauded down the right and defended well while Eric Lichaj excelled in an unusual left-back berth.

Brett Holman, much like Ireland, attacked with venom and defended well too.

Remember your votes go towards the end-of-season Terrace Trophy, sponsored by Mars, decision, where the supporters' player of the year is crowd.

Who will follow in the footsteps of Stan Petrov, James Milner, Gareth Barry and Dennis Mortimer? Only time will tell!
