Ollie Watkins says Aston Villa draw with Ipswich Town 'a fair result but disappointing'

Ollie Watkins says Aston Villa draw with Ipswich Town 'a fair result but disappointing'Getty

Ipswich Town and Aston Villa each walked away with a point after they drew 2-2 at Portman Road on Sunday, a result that Ollie Watkins believed to be a fair one.

The hosts took an eighth-minute lead through Liam Delap, who also scored Ipswich's second goal less than 20 minutes from full-time. In between those goals, Morgan Rogers struck in the 15th minute and Watkins in the 32nd as Villa held a lead for 40 minutes before giving up the equaliser.

For Watkins, the match was a bit too chaotic, which he credits the home side for. The 28-year-old admitted that his side were unsettled for large stretches of the game and didn't take their chances when presented.

"They always put a lot of pressure on us and we couldn't really implement our game plan," Watkins told Sky Sports. "Ipswich were always on to us and it was a bit of a basketball game which is what they wanted but we didn't.

"It was a difficult game and I think a point is a fair result. We didn't get it right in the final third, we could have been more ruthless myself included.

"A point is a fair result but disappointing because there were a lot of opportunities for us. They kept putting pressure on us, they're here at home, the made runs in behind and we grinded the result out in the end."
