Paul McGrath has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Aston Villa’s win against Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon.

Villa have got the better of Ipswich 2-1 at home in the Championship, thanks to a double from Chelsea-owned striker Tammy Abraham.

Former Villa star McGrath was following the game, and he is delighted with the final result.

Over the course of the 90 minutes at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon, hosts Villa had 45% of the possession, took 23 shots of which 13 were on target, and earned nine corners, according to BBC Sport.

Visitors Ipswich had 55% of the possession, took eight shots of which four were on target, and earned three corners, according to BBC Sport.

The win against Ipswich means that Villa are now 10th in the Championship table with 42 points from 29 matches.

The Villans are four points behind sixth-placed Derby County (who have played 28 matches), and perhaps Dean Smith’s side do have a chance of pushing for the Championship playoffs.

What Villa now need is run of positive results in the coming weeks.
