Aston Villa have extended their unbeaten run at Villa Park to 12 games, but failed to beat 10-man Ipswich Town after being held to a 1-1 draw.

Ipswich were reduced to 10 men in the 40th minute when Axel Tuanzebe was shown his second booking of the afternoon.

His dismissal came between Ollie Watkins missing a big chance to break the deadlock and Morgan Rogers seeing an effort cleared off the line.

Rogers thought he should have been awarded a free-kick early on when Ipswich goalkeeper Alex Palmer rushed off his line in a bid to win the ball, but after Rogers won that race he fell over claiming there was contact.

Nothing was given, but the Tractor Boys still played the majority of the game at a numerical disadvantage. Not long after Rogers’ appeals were turned down, Boubacar Kamara signalled to come off in the 16th minute and was replaced by Tyrone Mings.

Marcus Rashford was introduced for the start of the second half, replacing Jacob Ramsey, as Lucas Digne made way for Ian Maatsen.

But it was Ipswich who broke the deadlock just before the hour mark when Liam Delap turned in Omari Hutchinson’s cross from the right.

Manchester United loanee Rashford then rattled the bar from a free-kick and the ball fell for Watkins to convert on the rebound with just over 20 minutes left to play.

After missing a golden chance to put Villa ahead in the 73rd minute, Palmer denied Marco Asensio not long after as the Spaniard made a strong impact off the bench.

Villa are next in action on Wednesday night when host league leaders Liverpool (7:30pm kick-off).

Player ratings

Emi Martinez

Martinez was hoping to keep his fourth league clean sheet of the season, but was beaten by an excellent finish from Delap in the second half. 6

Andres Garcia

After impressing in the win over Tottenham, Garcia was handed his third start in a row and his first in a home league game. He made up the numbers well when Villa attacked and delivered crosses into dangerous areas. 6

Axel Disasi

Disasi made his debut for Villa this afternoon after joining on loan from Chelsea earlier this month. He battled well with Delap for the most part, but was beaten to the ball in the box when it mattered most as the striker opened the scoring as a result. Disasi used the ball well, creating Villa's first big chance of the game before Watkins then put the ball wide. 6

Boubacar Kamara

Mings returned to the squad for this afternoon's game, but Emery opted to keep Kamara in the backline. Unfortunately, Kamara didn't last 20 minutes as he signalled to come off. N/A

Lucas Digne

The left-back made his 22nd league start of the campaign, but was subbed off at the break. 6

Youri Tielemans

Tielemans is the only outfield player to start each of Villa's 25 league games this season. Ipswich's red card limited his ability to pick the lock, but he was still the glue in midfield and helped Villa sustain pressure. 7

John McGinn

On the back of a tremendous showing against Tottenham last weekend, McGinn stayed in the double pivot alongside Tielemans. He was unfairly penalised when he was too strong for opponents in duels. It was another impressive showing from the skipper this afternoon. 7

Donyell Malen

Malen kept his place in the starting XI, but moved out wide to accommodate Watkins' return from injury. He found space to attack in the first half and looked confident as he got shots off at goal, but they were blocked. 6

Morgan Rogers

Rogers had scored eight goals in his last eight appearances at Villa Park coming into the game, so he was full of confidence. Tuanzebe picked up his first yellow card after fouling Rogers early on as the former Villa man and his Ipswich defenders struggled to deal with the forward's physicality. Rogers saw an effort cleared off the line just before half-time. 7

Jacob Ramsey

Ramsey came into the game having scored twice in his last three appearances in all competitions. He linked play well and was effective in pockets of space in the first half. Replaced by Rashford at the interval. 6

Ollie Watkins

After equalising for Villa, Watkins has now been directly involved in 11 goals in his last seven league starts against promoted opposition. He missed a great chance to put Villa ahead in the first half when he went through and poked the ball wide as he was off balance. Right place at the right time to level up. 7

SUBS

Tyrone Mings (for Kamara, 16'): Mings wrestled with Delap and was constantly talking with Disasi and his teammates as Villa looked to reverse their deficit. 6

Marcus Rashford for (for Ramsey, 45'): The forward was out to make an instant impact as he called Palmer into action by firing an effort towards the far corner from the edge of the box. His free-kick rattled the bar before Watkins tapped in the rebound to restore parity. 7

Ian Maatsen (for Digne, 45'): Maatsen was lively in attack, but could have done more to prevent Hutchinson from putting the ball in the box, which allowed Delap to score. 6

Marco Asensio (for Malen, 63'): The Spaniard created chances and linked play effectively after coming on, but he missed a golden chance to put Villa ahead in the 73rd minute. He was involved in most of Villa's dangerous attacks late on. 7

Subs not used: Olsen, Zych, Bogarde, Jimoh-Aloba.
