Ipswich 2-2 Aston Villa: Liam Delap's late heroics spoil Unai Emery's side's chance at second place

Ipswich managed to secure a valuable point in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, extending their unbeaten streak to four Premier League games.

The visitors, who had the chance to rise to second in the Premier League with a win, were pegged back early on when Liam Delap swept home Jack Clarke's low cross, beating Emi Martinez at his near post.

Villa's bounce back was impressive, though. Some messy defending gifted Morgan Rogers the chance to equalise, and he did so with aplomb, netting his first of the season after Jacob Greaves' hopeless clearance.

Ollie Watkins - the league's most effective forward behind Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah during Unai Emery's time in charge - then completed the first-half turnaround when peeling off Axel Tuanzebe and Dara O'Shea to meet Leon Bailey's cross and plant a header beyond Arijanet Muric.

But there was a sting in the tail. In similar vain to Ipswich's first goal, Clarke linked with Delap and the striker did the rest, charging towards goal, giving Martinez the eyes, and burying a strike in the far corner.
