Leeds United lost the second game of the pre-season tour of Australia after Danny Ings’ penalty gave Aston Villa a 1-0 win. In a friendly that was anything but, the two sides reignited old needle in a game that was littered with late tackles, aggression and some questionable officiating.
Ings slotted home Villa’s second penalty of the night after a handball was awarded against Leif Davis. He fared better that Phillipe Coutinho in the first half, with the Brazilian having both penalty and rebound saved by Illan Meslier after a supposed handball by Tyler Adams.
The match was overshadowed by a nasty-looking injury to teenage sensation Archie Gray who was forced off on a stretcher after a vicious tackle by John McGin, with the last 20 minutes petering out.
