Ipswich Town 2-2 Aston Villa: Unai Emery accepting of draw with Premier League newcomers

:Headline: Ipswich Town 2-2 Aston Villa: Unai Emery accepting of draw with Premier League newcomers:
Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery admits his side did not deserve more than a point from their 2-2 draw at Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon.

Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery has acknowledged that his side 'failed to control things' during their 2-2 draw at Ipswich Town.

The West Midlands outfit went into Sunday's Premier League encounter at Portman Road with the opportunity to move into second place in the standings.

However, in an entertaining contest with the division newcomers, Villa had to come from behind and be reliant on Emiliano Martinez to earn a share of the spoils.

Liam Delap opened the scoring for the Tractor Boys before goals from Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins put Villa ahead at the break.

Although Villa continued to carve out chances, they looked equally open at the other end of the pitch, and Delap's run and finish secured a deserved point for Kieran McKenna's side.

What did Emery have to say?

Speaking to BBC Sport after the match, the Spaniard revealed that he had no issues with the result, admitting his players did not deserve to earn anything more than a point in East Anglia.

Emery said: "It was a pretty good match and I think the draw was fair. We were better in the first half, the second half we lost our concentration and the consequences happened because they scored and they could have scored one more.

"We had our chances but we conceded more than normal and we didn't control things like we did in the first half. I am not happy with the point but I have to accept it because I think it is fair.

"They had their game plan of course when they scored it was a surprise because we started well. I wanted us to finish strongly and oppose and we didn't do that."

What next for Villa?

The draw has left Villa sitting in fifth position in the table with 13 points from a possible 18, their only defeat coming at the hands of Arsenal.

Emery's side sit just two points adrift of leaders Liverpool ahead of playing host to Manchester United next Sunday.

Before that fixture, Villa play host to Bayern Munich in their second Champions League fixture, looking to build on their opening-matchday triumph at Young Boys.

With two high-profile games in the space of a week, Emery must decide whether to shuffle his pack having largely named a settled side for Premier League and European fixtures this season. body check tags ::
