What they Said
*Villa boss Roberto Di Matteo*
โI donโt think it was a boring 0-0. We were resilient and defended well against the threat of Ipswich.
โWe were better on the ball in the first half as we tried to create a bit of danger and we had some half-chances.
โThe second half was a bit more difficult but it was a good solid performance at a place that is always difficult to play at.
โA point away from home is always a good point and I am pleased with how we fought until the end.โ
*Aston Villa held on to claim a point at Ipswich and secure a fifth draw from their eight Championship games.*
Freddie Sears went close to winning the game for Town late on, striking the post deep into injury time.
The striker also went close with two free-kicks and Villaโs Jonathan Kodjia turned away attempts by substitute Leon Best and Cole Skuse on the goal line.
Jordan Ayew had Villaโs best chance, when he was blocked by Adam Webster with the goal at his mercy.
Since being relegated and having broken the Championship transfer record to sign Kodjia, Villa have managed to win only once in the league this season.
And, having conceded goals in the last six minutes of four matches, Roberto di Matteoโs side were lucky not to do so again.
Sears saw one of his free-kicks deflected wide, while the other was saved by Pierluigi Gollini, and Kodjia came to the rescue defensively with his two goal-line clearances.
Jack Grealish, Ashley Westwood and Ayew all had attempts blocked but the Ghanaian should have put Villa ahead early in the second half when he rounded keeper Bartosz Bialkowski before being denied by Websterโs challenge.
