FULL TIME: Ipswich 2-2 Aston Villa

90+6 mins Now Philogene goes down the right for Villa, but he is easily dispossessed and that’s all.

90+5… But the VAR wants to take a look at a handball… and quickly concludes there isn’t one. So the corner comes in, a header over the ball looks dangerous and I think three attackers are offside.

90+5 mins Two defenders miss their clearances, Duran goes behind, so here comes another corner…

90+4 mins Villa holds on! Ipswich force another corner and this place will take off if they can find a winner.

93 mins Ipswich miss the ball and Davis plays it back to Taylor on the edge. He unleashes a curler, but it hits Martinez, who easily parries it.

90+3 mins Ipswich win a corner on the right…

90+1 min Two more changes for Ipswich: Longo and Szmodics for Delap and Clarke.

90 mins We still have five minutes left.

90 mins Ipswich played well again but could really use a win – but as I type, Duran is accelerating into space, hungry as a wolf. But just as the shooting reflex is about to take him away from this ordinary world, it fails when Greaves comes in and makes a great tackle.

89 mins But here’s Barkley, grabbing the ball about 22 yards from goal and firing a shot that Muric deflects with his fist.

88 mins Villa, who have scored four huge late goals this season – no one else has more – have not come close to the Ipswich goal for some time.

86 mins “This game makes me feel at least six months younger than when I started,” advises Simon McMahon. “But then yesterday I aged a year after my own team overturned a 3-3 draw, you know, swings and roundabouts.”

Imagine if age were fluid. I’m sorry, Mr. THE man, I’m four years old today.

85 mins And Buendia throws a donkey over the bar.

85 mins It’s not easy to get this ball up and down…

83 mins Clever diagonal pass from Tielemans to Duran, who takes it in the half turn… so Taylor flattens him. Free kick on the edge, left of center, and Villa replace Digne, Tielemans and Watkins with Barkley, Buendia and Maatsen before it can be taken. Digne is not pleased; Buendia will aim for the goal…

81 mins Here comes Ipswich again! A clever pass from Taylor in defense finds Burns, who pulls a man towards him only to delay his release to Clarke, running alongside him…so that when the square pass comes, it’s not in front of him and his low shot is easy there is enough blocking. That was a great opportunity.

79 mins Morsy moves on and finds Taylor, who sees Delap running around in the penalty area. He doesn’t quite manage to play his roulette, but the attempt shows how confident he feels.

78 mins But Onana, who was calm today, heads clear, then Hutchinson hammers it up. Villa is under pressure!

77 mins Ipswich are now on the doorstep, another cross from the left wing was eventually thrown in behind, setting up a corner that Clarke would take advantage of.

76 mins Can both sides find a winner? Delap, of course, managed a hat-trick and it says something about Manchester City’s line-up that it produced both him and Cole Palmer, both of whom were considered good enough for the champions.

74 mins Greaves fouls someone I missed and is booked.

What a goal! Ipswich Town 2-2 Aston Villa (Delap 72)

71 mins My goodness, Morsy arrives late to Philogene and puts studs in the midfoot; Somehow the referee chooses not to give a second yellow card, and while I want the players to stay, I’m not sure I understand the reasons why, because this tackle deserves a warning and almost always gets one.

69 mins Double substitutions for Ipswich, Taylor and Burns for Phillips and Ogbene.

67 mins Again Ipswich move Davis into the open space on the left but with men in the middle he decides to aim for the near post and miss the goal where anything across the goal might have allowed a rebound if Martinez would not have saved the shot.

65 mins “Is it just me, or is this game far more entertaining than the turbulent Liverpool game yesterday?” asks Everton’s Mary Waltz.

I didn’t see everything, but Wolves’ goal was definitely worth watching. Otherwise, this game was excellent in the first half, but less so since then.

64 mins And here come the changes: Bailey and Rogers leave, Philogene and Duran arrive.

63 mins The home fans try to get their team going, with Duran and Philogene waiting to come on for Villa. That’s some exciting attacking depth they have there.

61 mins Clarke pushes a ball over the top and into the back but Villa are well coached and stick to their manager’s demands. Their squeeze means no one can walk through while staying on the side.

59 mins Which manager will sit on the bench first? Neither of them really do much, so McKenna has to make an impact while Emery has midweek to think. Meanwhile, Tuanzebe hits a high ball across the box, it hits Tuanzebe – there are muffled penalties – and Morsy shoots wide.

57 mins Morsy hits on Tielemans and since he is already booked he has to be careful.

57 mins “Watkins’ jump,” says Daniel Smith, “seems to be a combination of Dr. being J (Julius Erving) and Michael Jordan; basically walking on air.”

56 mins Ipswich built up through midfield but Delap shot over the goal…to no one.

55 mins Tielemans brings the ball clear and in pursuit Tuanzebe runs over his back and clips his heels; he is fully booked.

53 mins Davis finds space again and hits Diags with a cushioned volley pass that sends Clarke away to the left. His cross is blocked for a corner… which gets to the point.

51 mins It was a rocky start to the second half, which, if you insert parentheses, “A Scrappy Start (To The Second Half)” sounds like a dirge single from the late Britpop era.
