Newcastle United 3-3 Aston Villa highlights and reaction
Newcastle United get their Premier League Summer Series tournament under way in Philadelphia on Sunday evening, taking on Unai Emery's Aston Villa.
The Magpies have been buoyed by the signing of Harvey Barnes in recent hours, confirming a deal for the 25-year-old on Sunday afternoon. Barnes, who flew out to the United States over the weekend, could make his first appearance for his new side against Villa.
Emery's men also have a new face in their ranks - and it is one Newcastle fans will recognise. The Midlands outfit signed Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend; a player Eddie Howe liked the look of last summer.
Newcastle will be hoping to get off to a good start before taking on Brighton and Chelsea later in the week. Follow our live coverage throughout the evening right here.

Who impressed?
01:59Aaron Stokes
It wasn't looking good for Newcastle after 11 minutes but they fought back very well.
Good mix of players on display and some good minutes in the tank!
Onto Atlanta, Georgia next...
01:58KEY EVENT
Neither side come away with the win but what a chaotic game!
3-3 it ends with Newcastle coming from behind twice!
01:56Aaron Stokes
Can either side steal it?
01:54Aaron Stokes
Manquillo scores! But the whistle had already gone.
The right-back was offside as he was played through on goal.
01:51Aaron Stokes
Almost a debut goal! Barnes picks up the ball on the left, cuts inside and bends one towards goal - but it's a solid stop by Olsen!
Almost a dreaaaam start!
01:47Aaron Stokes
Joelinton goes into the referee's book.
Two fouls in two minutes. First on Ramsey, second on Kennyman.
01:41Aaron Stokes
Gordon looking very sharp, as expected. Wilson running behind the lines. Barnes trying to get on the ball.
78 minutes played. The players all look shattered due to the USA heat!
01:33Aaron Stokes
Targett OFF, Barnes ON!
His Magpies debut arrives.
01:32Aaron Stokes
Well..... this is a first.
Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings is being interviewed pitchside as his team-mates replenish their fluids... He's currently one of Villa's 11 men on the pitch!
01:32Aaron Stokes
Howe admitting pre-match that Barnes will get a run out tonight in the latter stages of the clash.
01:31Aaron Stokes
Howe and Tindall passing on more messages to their players.
01:25Aaron Stokes
A whole host of changes for Emery's men.
The highlight: The amazing Buendia off, Tielemans on.
01:24Aaron Stokes
Villa almost ahead again.
17-year-old Kellyman again looking dangerous. He goes through on goal, twists and turns, before getting a shot off. Great save by Dubravka who made himself big.
01:23Aaron Stokes
Newcastle want a penalty again!
Again, Diego Carlos is the man making the challenge. This time Gordon steams through on goal before going to ground.
Appeals waved away by the MLS referee.
01:20Aaron Stokes
Honestly, pre-season friendlies might not mean much - but they always deliver plenty of goals!
Newcastle want a penalty here after Wilson is challenged from behind. Boos galore from the Toon Army. Almost a very awkward moment from Villa after Olsen's sloppy kicking.
01:18Aaron Stokes
We can't keep up!
Ball over the top falls nicely to Gordon who gets a strong left-footed shot off. Olsen, on at half-time, saves well but the rebound drops to Wilson.
Calm finish! 3-3!
01:17KEY EVENT
IT'S 3-3! WHAT A BREATHLESS GAME!
01:16Aaron Stokes
Gordon gets himself in a great position and jumps highest to meet a decent cross but his header is always rising. Newcastle attempting to hit straight back here.
01:12Aaron Stokes
A wealth of changes from Howe. The Newcastle team is now: Dubravka, Manquillo, Lascelles, Botman, Burn, Targett, Miley, Joelinton, Ritchie, Gordon, Wilson.
01:11Aaron Stokes
Villa explode into life once more in this second-half. Lovely, sweeping move up the field. Buendia leading it once again.
Kellyman forces Dubravka into a great save as he tips a shot onto the post. Buendia is the man to follow up on the rebound.
01:10KEY EVENT
Sucker-punch at the start of the half...
Buendia makes it 3-2.
01:07Aaron Stokes
We're under way once more in Philly!
01:00Aaron Stokes
Who impressed?
00:52Aaron Stokes
Andddd breathe!
A horrendous start by Newcastle but they have fought back so well. Anderson scoring one and creating the other.
Great spirit from the Magpies!
00:49Aaron Stokes
Wow. Alexander Isak on the stroke of half time!
Anderson dispossesses a Villa midfielder, drives at goal and gets a shot off.
Digne can't clear the danger after Martinez's save and Isak has the easiest of tap-ins!
2-2!
00:48KEY EVENT
2-2! ISAAAAAAK!
00:48Aaron Stokes
Newcastle clear Villa's corner but the defensive header falls to Digne on the edge of the box.
Connects well with the volley but it's straight down Dubravka's throat. Easy save.
4 minutes added on.
00:46Aaron Stokes
Any more goals in this opening 45? Seconds until half-time now.
Isak had a pop from distance just a minute ago but again Villa block well. Game has died down slightly in humid and testing conditions.
