Exciting First Half of Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa

We go into the half-time break here in Ipswich after a rollercoaster 45 minutes so far. Aston Villa looked bound to be the first scorers, with Ipswich barely touching the ball in the opening stages. However, just with their first rush into the Villa half, the home side bagged an early lead through Delap. Aston Villa didn’t wait long to respond, as Rogers placed one into the bottom corner just seven minutes after the opener thanks to some lacklustre defending by Greaves.

If Martinez didn’t cover himself in glory for Delap’s goal, he made a couple of notable and excellent saves since the goal, and his teammates rewarded his goalkeeping by taking the lead through Watkins. The Englishman headed past Muric from just a few yards after a great ball by Bailey.

Statistics and Insights

Aston Villa are leading on all fronts so far, with 0.67 xG compared to an xG of 0.47 for Ipswich, and also 64% of the play. Unai Emery will be the more pleased manager for sure, but McKenna will be optimistic from the chances his side has created.
