Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard admits they weren't good enough for defeat at Newcastle.
Kieran Trippier's free-kick proved the winner for the hosts.
Gerrard later said: "From start to finish we weren't good enough and deserved nothing from the game.
"We were honest with the players half-time and we got a bit of a reaction but I've got no complaints with the result. I believe you make your own luck away from home and we were nowhere near it today.
"I expect more from this team collectively and individually. We feel frustrated and disappointed.
"I don't think there was much in it today but Newcastle didn't have to play incredibly well to win it. We need to move on and move on quickly."
