Villa lose their unbeaten record as they fall to a hugely unlucky defeat at Portman Road despite being in the ascendancy throughout and fall back to 4th in the early table whilst opponents Ipswich remain top.
Ron Saunders' Villa lose for the first time this season and the first time in seven games as they make it three wins, one draw and one defeat in five League matches.

"Justice wasn't done.
“But we should have struck them away.
“We played very well but everyone forgets how you played when you've lost.”
Ron Saunders.
---
"We scrambled a result because Villa missed the best two chances of the match.
"They are going to be difficult to beat all season, especially when Shaw learns to take chances.
“He’ll be something special when he's 22."
Ipswich manager Bobby Robson.
