BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) -Recalled Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins took out his anger on Newcastle United on Saturday with a dazzling display in his side's 4-1 victory in the Premier League.

Watkins scored inside the opening minute, was twice denied by the woodwork in the first half and then set up team mate Ian Maatsen to restore Villa's lead in a rampant second half.
