In a match of few chances, substitute Bertrand Traore opened the scoring three minutes into the second half following a mistake by Jonjo Shelvey.

Ollie Watkins then sealed Villa’s sixth win in seven matches when he chipped home his ninth goal in 11 games with virtually the last kick.

The visitors, now winless in nine matches, failed to seriously trouble home keeper Emi Martinez as Villa saw out the victory.
