Aston Villa beat Leeds United 3-0 at Elland Road in Jesse Marsch's first home match as Leeds head coach to move up to ninth.
The opening goal came in the 22nd minute, Philiipe Coutinho converting Matty Cash's cutback with the help of a Pascal Struijk deflection.
Leeds responded after the break, with Raphinha immediately flashing a ball across the face of goal.
However, Cash doubled Villa's lead with a powerful low finish on 65 minutes before Calum Chambers added a third eight minutes later with a curling strike into the top-left corner.
A third straight victory without conceding moves Villa up to ninth on 36 points.
Leeds stay 16th following a sixth consecutive defeat, two points clear of 18th-placed Burnley having played two matches more.
