MATCH SUMMARY
Villa are forced to play Allan Evans and Kenny Swain up front as Tony Morley hits a screamer of a volley to earn Villa a point after three successive League defeats but their Achilles heel of missed chances presents them taking a deserved win against the "heavily manned defence" presented by Ipswich.
