Ipswich Town drew 2-2 with Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday at Portman Road where Liam Delap opened the scoring for the home side before grabbing the equaliser in the second half.
Ipswich took an early lead when Jack Clarke cut the ball back for Delap to beat Emi Martinez in goal but Villa levelled seven minutes later when Morgan Rogers pounced on a poor clearance and made it 1-1.
Ollie Watkins gave Villa the lead when he headed home a Leon Bailey cross but Ipswich struck again through Delap when he beat the offside trap on a counter-attack and found the bottom corner after 72 minutes to set up a tense finale.
Neither side could find a winner, however, as Villa failed to move into the top four, sitting fifth with 13 points, while Ipswich are 15th with four points as the promoted side continue to wait for a first win on their return to the Premier League.

Barkley with an effort from range which was moving all over the place, which left Muric fumbling the ball and luckily getting away with it.

Free-kick right on the edge of Ipswich’s box here, agonisingly close to a penalty for Villa. It’s a dangerous spot nonetheless…

Villa are being made to work very hard in this contest, and Ipswich look the more likely to find a winner here. Burns is played through by Clarke but he hesitates that second too long and gives Torres the chance to recover to block the shot on goal.

Delap is now the youngest player in Ipswich history to score more than one goal in the Premier League. Can he bag himself, and his side, a third?
