Villa record their fifth victory in eleven to make it twenty wins, seven draws and nine defeats in their thirty six division one games so far this season.
Villa keep their first clean sheet in eight and their eleventh of the season.
Villa's win at Hillsborough puts them in outright 3rd place after Newcastle's defeat to Leeds and one point behind their opponents in second place but now with three games in hand.
Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points over Villa but have just three games remaining compared to Villa's six. Even if Villa win all their remaining six, Arsenal would have to lose two of their remaining games for Villa to take the title.
Barring a disastrous run to the end of the season however, the runners up spot should be secure for Villa.
Up next for Villa is fourth placed Newcastle in a double header over consecutive days.
