Aston Villa and Ipswich Town Share Points in Premier League Draw

2025-03-02

Aston Villa and Ipswich Town played out a 1-1 draw in a tightly contested Premier League clash at Villa Park. Ollie Watkins equalised for Villa after Liam Delap had given Ipswich the lead, but the hosts were unable to find a winner despite dominating possession and creating several chances.

The match saw Ipswich reduced to 10 men after Axel Tuanzebe was sent off for a second yellow card, but Villa struggled to capitalise on their numerical advantage. Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio were introduced in the second half to bolster Villa’s attack, but Asensio missed a golden opportunity to put his side ahead, firing over the bar from close range.

Villa, who were looking to extend their unbeaten home run to 12 matches, came into the game on the back of a 2-1 FA Cup win over Tottenham Hotspur. Ipswich, meanwhile, had ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over Coventry City in the cup but remain in the relegation zone.

The draw leaves Villa eighth in the Premier League table, while Ipswich stay 19th, three points adrift of safety. Villa manager Unai Emery expressed frustration at his side’s inability to convert chances but praised their resilience. Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna hailed his team’s defensive discipline and fighting spirit, particularly after going down to 10 men.
