Newly-promoted Aston Villa are out of the relegation zone.

They played out a goalless draw against West Ham on Monday night to rise above Newcastle in the points table.

Villa enjoyed the better chances of the two teams as goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was forced to make two saves.

West Ham were reduced to 10 men with 23 minutes left after Arthur Masuaku was given a red card.
