It is about damage-limitation for Bristol City now.

Aden Flint has gone back to centre-half now. It didn't work today, putting him up front. He should have scored at 2-0.

He thoroughly deserves a great ovation.

When Jonathan Kodjia got injured, Villa needed someone to step up and Albert Adomah has done that.

Albert Adomah - a former Bristol City winger - goes off, and gets a round of applause from the travelling fans too. They still respect him. He's been good tonight.

In his place, Villa bring on Birkir Bjarnason.

Villa have had four shots on target and have scored three times. Ruthless.

Earlier, managerless Sheffield Wednesday were well-beaten at home by Burton Albion, who picked up their third successive win on the road to lift them to within goal difference of safety.

Wednesday caretaker boss Lee Bullen was in the dugout for a third match since the departure of Carlos Carvalhal, but had few positives to say at full-time.

"I'm 100% embarrassed by that performance," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"The goals we lost you wouldn't see in a school playground. The first goal is a joke. For someone to waltz 50 yards with the ball, through four or five players without anyone laying a glove on him is embarrassing.

"We said at half-time that they would sit deep and look to hit us on the counter so we had to keep the backdoor shut and less than five minutes into the second half we were 2-0 down."

The visitors had been really coming in to the game since half-time, but they missed their chances and have been clinically punished on the break.

Head coach Lee Johnson gambled, going for it with a double change at half-time and a switch to three at the back. They committed men forward, but there was always the risk of them being stretched at the back.

It looks like a lost cause now for Bristol City, who will just be playing for pride now.

The Holte End is delirious.

3-0 and game over. This is how Villa need to be.

Robert Snodgrass, when Steve Bruce really needed him, has stepped up to the plate.

Snodgrass also scored Villa's win at Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Bristol City win their first corner of the night, which is taken by Joe Bryan and punched clear by Villa keeper Sam Johnstone.

Bristol City get themselves in a good position, with options in the box, but winger Josh Brownhill opts to go alone and shoot. It's wide.

Jake Horton: So good to see Jack Grealish get a run of games and start to fulfil his potential! What a half from Villa. Hopefully more of the same in the second!

Preston boss Alex Neil was left wondering how his side failed to take anything away from their match with Middlesbrough at Deepdale.

The Lillywhites saw a 2-1 half-time lead snatched away from them as Boro came back to win 3-2 and hand new manager Tony Pulis a first win in charge.

"I don't even think a draw would've been a fair result, I thought we deserved to win the game," Neil told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"We had 20 shots at goal, we moved the ball really well in the first half, created a lot of chances and deservedly took the lead.

"But, the simple fact is at this level playing against the top teams, the difference can be winning a header in your own box and clearing your own lines. That's how fine the margins are that have cost us.

"When chances came along, we either hit the bar or had a shot saved by the keeper."

Now Aden Flint has got in the way of Nathan Baker's shot. Bristol City are causing some problems, but are yet to really test Villa keeper Sam Johnstone.

The giant figure of Flint is absolutely everywhere at the moment.

It should be 2-1! Bristol City miss a sitter.

Aden Flint and Matty Taylor get in each other's way in front of goal, after good play from Joe Bryan and Bobby Reid, and Flint's effort hits Taylor. Villa escape.

Flint is furious with Taylor!

The double change for Bristol City has seen Jamie Paterson and Bobby Reid drop a bit deeper in to midfield.

It's a very attacking line-up now for them.

Bristol City get the second half going following those changes.

At the break, Bristol City bring on Lloyd Kelly for Hordur Magnusson and Matty Taylor on for Marlon Pack.

Meanwhile, defender Aden Flint has gone up front alongside Taylor.

So the Robins go to three at the back.
