The former Manchester City striker, 21, fired the newly-promoted side ahead at Portman Road after just eight minutes.

Morgan Rogers levelled for the visitors after a quarter of an hour, playing a one-two with Ollie Watkins inside the area before he lashed a smart finish into the bottom corner.

And Unai Emery’s side completed the turnaround 13 minutes before half-time when an unmarked Watkins headed Villa in front.

Ipswich pressed for an equaliser after the break and got their reward in the 72nd minutes in superb fashion as Delap breezed past Diego Carlos with two delightful step overs and rifled into the far corner.

The result sees Kieran McKenna’s men climb out of the relegation zone and up to 15th, while Villa miss out on moving level on points with table-toppers Liverpool as they remain fifth.
