Two goals from Albert Adomah and a first professional goal for Keinan Davis gave Aston Villa a first win in five matches as they defeated Barnsley 3-0.
Spirits were high at Oakwell as the Reds celebrated their 130th anniversary in front of 14,600 fans.
It was the home side who had the first clear-cut chance when full-back Jason McCarthy made a strong run into the box but had his shot well blocked by the sliding John Terry.
Moments later, Robert Snodgrass stormed down the right-hand side, cut inside and tried a low shot that was comfortably parried by goalkeeper Adam Davies at his near post.
