Aston Villa fought back to claim a point against Wolverhampton Wanderers as the midlands neighbours shared a 1-1 draw at Villa Park.

The gold and black shirts were camped inside their half as they did everything they could to stop Villa from getting back into the contest. Wolves kept up their pressing and attacking instinct throughout the first-half and it was only for the reflexes of former old gold keeper Emi Martinez to stop the visitors from doubling their lead. With the hosts back in the game in the second period, Danny Ings found space over the top of the Wolves defence and made no mistake with his finish to secure a point. But it didn’t take long for the host’s pressure to tell. However, it took just over 10 minutes for Wolves to go ahead. Nathan Collins came the closest when his header was cleared off the line by Ezri Konsa.

The Jamaica international was presented with a golden opportunity to win the game at Villa Park, as he rounded Josa Sa with a wide-open net left in front of him ...

They (the players) were supporting him and trying to improve for the next matches when he will have the same chances.' It was good to learn more with him. Surely will be very difficult to sleep tonight but I'll try to keep my head up.'

Unai Emery remains coy on whether Villa will sell Ings - but the striker's rescue act will have given the new manager food for thought.

Augustinsson saw a well-struck effort cleared off the line by Max Kilman before Ings scored the equaliser with 12 minutes remaining, calmly beating Jose Sa after racing onto an excellent through ball from [Tyrone Mings](https://theathletic.com/football/player/tyrone-mings-LY3xyd8IwbE5DQbv/). As for Bailey, Emery said he was encouraged by the player’s performance and indeed by his anguished response to the miss. There will be changes and, for Bailey, Ings and others, the challenge will be to avoid being left behind. [Brighton](https://theathletic.com/football/team/brighton-and-hove-albion/) (in November) he scored two goals and usually he gives an impact. [Ludwig Augustinsson](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ludwig-augustinsson-8qFPh5d61viuANoa/) also impressed after being sent on at left-back, but it was Ings who did most to inspire Villa, who had looked so erratic and uninspired to that point. One chilling statistic for Emery is that Villa made just three tackles in the first half (Douglas Luiz one, Buendia two) to Wolves’ 17. In the second half, they made a more respectable eight to their opponents’ 12. It seemed hard to imagine why a team might produce two such wildly contrasting displays back-to-back, but perhaps that is the point: that for now you don’t get performances as impressive as that at Tottenham on Sunday without getting a comedown three days later. The idea is to keep him in the squad.” Bailey was howling as he left the pitch, disconsolate, and headed to the sanctuary of the dressing room. In the post-match press conference, The Athletic asked Emery whether Ings could be allowed to leave during the January transfer window.

It’s everything I’ve known for the past 12 years and now I’m having to say goodbye. She’s a winner and will bring a wealth of experience that her new teammates will thrive off. There’s a saying that you shouldn’t cry because it’s over, you should smile because it happened, but I’m allowed to do both, right?
