However, tensions boiled over in the tunnel at half-time, with Villa manager Unai Emery confronting Newcastle assistant Jason Tindall.
Eventually, other coaches and players also became involved in the half-time fracas.
The Express states that the altercation involved around 20 people, with Newcastle manager Eddie Howe not involved.
He did stand up for his team, stating: "If you're going to send him (Tindall) off, you could probably send 10 to 15 people off.”
