EPL: Ings Grabs Equalizer As Aston Villa, Wolves Share Spoils

Aston Villa substitute Danny Ings grabbed a late equaliser to secure a 1-1 home draw with Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers after trailing for much of Wednesday’s Premier League tussle.

Ahead of the game, World Cup hero Emiliano Martinez paraded his golden glove from the Qatar 2022 World Cup in front of fans.

Thank you so much to all the fans, the staff and my teammates for the incredible reception at Villa Park. It really means a lot. We couldn’t get the win but we keep going! ?? pic.twitter.com/MysbvFE08T

Ings netted 12 minutes from time to level after Daniel Podence’s skilful goal handed Wolves an early lead and hope of moving out of the relegation zone.

But they stayed second from bottom after the draw at Villa Park while their hosts moved up one place to 11th position.

Podence showed some tricky footwork before firing home a left-footed effort in the 12th minute as Wolves made a bright start in their third league game under new manager Julen Lopetegui.

They served early notice of their potential when centre-back Nathan Collins had his header cleared off the line by Ezri Konsa in the sixth minute.
