Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Liam Delap scores twice to save point
Follow all the action from Portman Road
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.

Aston Villa are furious as Morsy gets away with another foul without receiving a second yellow. You wonder why he wasn’t one of the players to be subbed by McKenna as he’s seriously asking to be sent off here.

First changes of the game come from Unai Emery, perhaps with the upcoming clash against Bayern Munich in mind. Duran, who does ever so well off the bench, is on in place of Rogers.

Ipswich may not be happy with the result as it stands, but they can hold their heads up high for how they’ve performed, particularly in attack. They’ve attempted eight shots in this match, already higher than their season average (7.5) in the league. Villa, on the other hand, haven't attempted a single shot since Ollie Watkins put them ahead in the 32nd minute.

Excellent feet by Rogers to get away from Phillips in the middle of the park. Villa have been quiet in this half, and they’ll want to get Rogers on the ball more often to try and create the next chance.
