Aston Villa cruised to a 3-1 home victory over Luton Town as they claimed their 12th straight Premier League win at Villa Park.
Captain John McGinn opened the scoring before Moussa Diaby took centre stage as he netted the second goal before the Frenchman's effort was turned into his own goal by Luton captain Tom Lockyer.
How the match unfolded
McGinn fired Villa ahead on 17 minutes with a right-footed shot into the bottom corner, his second strike in as many matches following his UEFA Europa Conference League goal in the midweek win over AZ Alkmaar.
The Scot's strike was set up by Douglas Luiz, who became the first Villa player to be directly involved in a goal across each of his last seven Premier League home appearances, with seven goals and one assist.
Villa doubled their advantage four minutes after half-time, Diaby volleying in after getting on the end of Leon Bailey’s knockdown.
Villa added a third in the 62nd minute, with Diaby's effort across goal turned into his own net by Lockyer.
Luton grabbed a consolation goal with seven minutes remaining after Ezri Konsa’s header back to Emiliano Martinez hit the crossbar and bounced in off the goalkeeper.
Villa move on to 22 points, just one fewer than fourth-placed Liverpool.
Luton drop to 18th and stay on five points, their worst-ever start to a season across the top four tiers of English football.
