Tammy Abraham netted his third goal for Aston Villa following his return from Besiktas in January.
His previous goal, a dramatic late equaliser against Leeds, came seven league matches ago in February.

Villa requires just six more points to secure Champions League qualification, with upcoming Premier League clashes against Fulham, Tottenham, Burnley, Liverpool, and Manchester City still on the schedule.
While Abraham scored the decisive goal, the striker he replaced, Ollie Watkins, shone with two goals and an assist.
The 30-year-old’s outstanding performance will likely bolster his chances of selection for England’s World Cup squad.
This season, Watkins has scored 16 goals across all competitions, netting five in his last four matches since being omitted from Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad in March.
Harry Kane remains the only Englishman among the top five leagues with a higher goal tally.
