Newcastle manager Eddie Howe wants fans to dream after Alexander Isak and Sandro Tonali star in Aston Villa win

Manager Eddie Howe wants "Newcastle supporters to dream" after starting the new Premier League campaign with a "perfect day" at St. James' Park.

Howe's side began the new campaign with a 5-1 thrashing of Aston Villa.

Debutants Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes both scored, while Alexander Isak reminded everybody of his quality with two classy finishes.

"We scored five - we could have scored more! Everything clicked for us," Howe told Match of the Day.

"It was a tight game decided by our ruthlessness in front of goal. Villa were also in the game, so we're very pleased.
