Aston Villa 1-1 Ipswich Town

at Villa Park

KIERAN McKENNA’S Ipswich Town rolled up to Villa Park on the back of a four-game losing streak but the Tractor Boys showed that there is still plenty of fight left in the old dog yet, as they fought tooth and nail to leave the Midlands with a point, despite the first-half dismissal of Axel Tuanzebe.

Returning striker Ollie Watkins scored the home side’s equaliser following Liam Delap’s 55th-minute opener for the away side, but Unai Emery’s men were unable to take advantage of their second-half numerical advantage as the match ended 1-1.
