Aston Villa finally ended their away day blues with a deserved 2-0 victory at Rotherham.
Steve Bruce's men, who have addressed their home form over the last week, now registered their first win on the road of 2017 as Will Vaulks' second-half own goal and a Jonathan Kodjia strike earned the three points at New York Stadium.
That was their third win in eight days which puts a much better complexion on the league table, with Villa now looking towards the top half rather than a potential relegation fight.
For Rotherham, who are winless in nine games, their fight against the drop is almost over as they suffered a 26th defeat of the season and, 18 points adrift of safety, it is just a matter of time until their return to League One is confirmed.
Rotherham United 0-2 Aston Villa
