Leeds United did their hopes of Premier League survival no favours as they were comfortably beaten by Aston Villa at Elland Road.
Goals from Phillipe Coutinho, Matty Cash and Calum Chambers made it eight games without a win for the Whites who have been dragged into the mire at the bottom of the table.
The gap to the relegation zone remains two points but Burnley and Everton in the places directly below have two and three games in hand respectively.
