Aston Villa picked up a badly needed win at the weekend as they scraped past bottom-of-the-league Ipswich Town at Villa Park. 

Two Tammy Abraham goals were enough for Dean Smith's troops to come away with a 2-1 win surviving a late scare from the Tractor Boys after a Freddie Sears screamer narrowed the deficit.
