Championship results: Rafa Benitez goes clear at the top with Newcastle as Bristol City move into play-off places

Some key information from Saturday's action in the Sky Bet Championship...

The Villans secured back-to-back wins for the first time this season after a late win over the Cottagers at Villa Park.

With the scores level going into the final 10 minutes, Jonathan Kodjia produced an immaculate volley to inspire Steve Bruce’s side to victory in what was a tight game.

The result sees Villa’s new manager continue his unbeaten record since taking over last month.

The Tykes moved up to eleventh place in the table after securing an impressive away win against the Bees at Griffin Park.
