Aston Villa Denied As Liam Delap Sparkles In Ipswich Town Draw
Aston Villa missed the chance to go second in the Premier League as Liam Delap's double rescued Ipswich in a 2-2 draw at Portman Road on Sunday. Unai Emery's side fell behind to Delap's early opener but responded to take the lead before half-time through goals from Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins. Delap, a promising 21-year-old signed from Manchester City in the close-season, hauled Ipswich back on level terms after the interval. It was a frustrating result for Villa, who had travelled to Suffolk hoping to move level on points with leaders Liverpool. Instead, Villa sit in fifth place, two points behind the Reds after their run of five successive wins in all competitions came to an end.
