Aston Villa 0 Sunderland 1
Michael Chopra was the Sunderland hero at Villa Park as he fired the Black Cats clear of the danger zone.
Chopra's 83rd-minute goal was enough to earn Sunderland their first away win of the season - and their first win against Aston Villa in the Midlands for almost a quarter of a century.
The victory meant Roy Keane's men leapfrogged Birmingham, who lost against Reading, to move up one place to fifth-bottom.
But more importantly, it doubled the gap between the Wearsiders and Bolton, who remain third bottom and in the relegation zone after their goalless draw with Manchester City, to four points.
