Watch all the goals from this memorable match as striker John Carew scored a hat-trick to help Villa fight back from a goal down to beat Newcastle.
The visitors took an early lead in this February 2008 contest thanks to Michael Owen whose deflected header beat Scott Carson at the near post.
But defender Wilfred Bouma equalised for Villa with a low shot from 20 yards before Carew grabbed his first with a header from Ashley Young's corner.
Carew nodded in to make it 3-1 before he scored his third from the spot following Stephen Carr's handball.
The victory was a thoroughly deserved one for Villa who ended their run of three games without a win in emphatic fashion, while opposite number Kevin Keegan was left wondering where and when his first win would arrive following a second half collapse.
It started well for Keegan when Owen gave the Magpies the lead, eluding his markers to head the ball, with the aid of a deflection from Gareth Barry, past Carson.
Villa posed little threat in the first half but there were enough cracks in Newcastle's defence to give them the belief they could turn it around in the second half.
The home side's equaliser was not long in coming after the break when Bouma scored his first goal in 76 games.
The Dutchman chanced his luck from distance with a drilled low shot that deflected off the calf of Habib Beye and past Shay Given.
Newcastle then imploded.
Young, one of the shining lights throughout the game, delivered another great ball from a left-sided corner and found Carew, who did not need to leap to nod in his first.
Villa had endured a miserable January but it must have felt like Christmas Day for them. And they soon unwrapped their third present.
Given had come off injured with a groin injury and been replaced by Steve Harper but he, like his team-mate, was not helped by his defence, who failed to clear a cross from the right and allowed Carew the simplest of chances from two yards.
And Villa's fight-back was complete in the final minute of the match when they were awarded a penalty following Carr's handball.
Regular spot-kick specialist Barry stepped aside to allow Carew to grab his first hat-trick for the club.
The Norway forward did not let his colleague, his team or himself down by rifling the ball past Harper.
