Aston Villa substitute Danny Ings grabbed a late equaliser to secure a 1-1 home draw with Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers after trailing for much of Wednesday’s Premier League tussle.

Ings netted 12 minutes from time to level after Daniel Podence’s skilful goal handed Wolves an early lead and hope of moving out of the relegation zone.

But they stayed second from bottom after the draw at Villa Park while their hosts moved up one place to 11th position.

Podence showed some tricky footwork before firing home a left-footed effort in the 12th minute as Wolves made a bright start in their third league game under new manager Julen Lopetegui.

They served early notice of their potential when centre back Nathan Collins had his header cleared off the line by Ezri Konsa in the sixth minute.

GOOD SAVE! Ait Nouri has certainly made a difference since coming on. He embarks on a jinking run into the box, before his fierce shot is beaten away by Martinez.

Space opens for Matheus to try his luck from distance, but his effort is always rising and never troubling Martinez.

We are level at Villa Park after Ings scored in his fourth successive appearance against Wolves. He has now been directly involved in five goals in his last six games against them (scoring four and assisting one).

Sa collects a Villa corner and immediately finds Cunha to launch a counter. The ball is neatly switched to the onrushing Ait Nouri, but Cash makes up vital ground to intervene and clear the danger.

Traore's fierce effort from a tight angle is beaten away by Martinez, but the offside flag is eventually raised and any goal would not have counted.

All the momentum is certainly with Villa now. The home fans are in full voice and sense a potential turnaround here.
