As the football cliche suggests, it was a game of two half-halves, with Villa dominating the second half, creating numerous chances Wolves’ backline stood firm, even pulling off a magnificent goal-line clearance.
Wolves’ warrior-like defense was breached eventually with 12 minutes of normal time left on the clock by a stunning pass from Tyrone Mings to the veteran striker Danny Ings. Ings, who is Villa’s top scorer finished off the fine move with a smart clip over the goalkeeper to make it his seventh goal of the season.
The Jamaican winger and Villa starlet had an excellent opportunity in added time to pick up all three points but was unable to capitalize as his shot trickled out for a goal kick after beating the goalkeeper.

The footballer has had a slow start since returning to the English Premier League for the Villians following the World Cup break.
Leon Bailey was inconsolable at the end of the game after the chance he spurned. Bailey has suffered multiple injuries since joining the English-based club following his move from Bayern Leverkusen.
