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.

Villa have carried a decent attacking threat so far, but they must do more in order to drag themselves back into this contest. Watkins has been fairly quiet up to now, and will look to be more involved after the break.

Wolves lead at the break thanks to Daniel Podence's second goal in as many away games. The Portugal international exchanged passes with compatriot Joao Moutinho in the 12th minute, before neatly curling past the flat-footed Emiliano Martinez. The visitors are certainly good value for their advantage so far.
