The loan signing of Matheus Cunha from Atletico Madrid should give them extra quality in the final third and defensively they’ve looked solid all season and Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho will always hold things down in midfield. It seems like Wolves captain Ruben Neves almost scores a screamer in every single game and his compatriot Jose Sa was superb against Manchester United.

What a let-off for the visitors, but what an opportunity to go begging for Villa. Wolves miss the chance to move out of the Premier League's relegation zone after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Aston Villa. That's all for today.

Here's the ratings from Villa Park as Danny Ings' goal 12 minutes from time rescues a point for Unai Emery's men who were below par here against Wolves.

Ings also picked out Bailey for his missed chance at the end. The striker cupped his ears as he scored. Moved to the right-hand side after the break but failed to deliver that bit of magic. Fired wide off balance after chopping past his man with Villa fired up after the restart. Strong as he raced back to clear as Ait-Nouri looked to be in on goal as Wolves countered quickly. Digne put in a wicked ball on the hour but Bailey was well-marshalled by Wolves’ centre-backs. Digne did come up with Villa’s only meaningful effort on Wolves’ goal in the first 45 with a curling free-kick as Sa tipped it over. Ashley Young: Villa’s skipper this evening in place of McGinn but Young struggled and was taken off at half-time. Martinez was strong to take the sting out of Adama’s powerful cross just after the break while, with eight remaining, stood firm to keep Adama’s effort out not knowing the offside flag was raised. Loud boos were fired at the players as they headed in and, after the restart, Emery drafted on Philippe Coutinho for Young while, not long after the hour, Ings, Ludwig Augustinsson and Leander Dendoncker all came on with Villa in real need of some fresh legs. Joao Moutinho popped a lovely ball into Podence before the little Portuguese danced past Douglas Luiz and fired home into the far corner for 1-0. Matty Cash was his replacement on the right-hand side of midfield while, in goal, Emery drafted World Cup winner Emi Martinez back in.
