Sanchez signs from Elche at £4.7 million. He plays defence and his squad number is 24. Lambert:

Carlos is a very experienced professional who played a prominent role in a Colombian team which captured everyone’s imagination at this summer’s World Cup in Brazil. He does the simple things really well and he’s excellent at spotting the danger, dealing with it and keeping it simple.We’ve beaten other teams to bring him here to Villa.

castleThe visitors are let down by poor finishing. Magpies debutant Siem De Jong gets a chance to win it for his side but fails to score. Before he is sent off, defender Mike Williamson hits an air shot from Remy Cabella’s looping pass. Pardew’s wait for the first premier league goal still goes on but is encouraged by impressive cameo. Emmanuel Riviera registers Magpies first on target effort of the season but Brad Guzan easily stops it.Meanwhile Villa go closest through impressive winger Charles N’zogbia who curls a free kick narrowly wide against his former club. Lambert:

I think a few years ago Aston Villa struggled with experienced players. It’s tough, the league is tough but the start we have been made has been really good

Pardew:

It’s a great start for us after everybody was doom and gloom about the football club towards the end of last season, we’ve certainly took that challenge on.
