Aston Villa boss Dean Smith says there's more to come from his players after their 2-0 defeat of Newcastle United.
Ings leaped high to send his bicycle kick beyond Freddie Woodman before the break before Anwar El Ghazi added a second on the hour mark from the penalty spot.
Smith told BirminghamLive: "I thought it was an OK performance but a better result. It was much better to last week where we lacked intensity.
"Fans were never going to allow us to lack intensity today and it's nice to get a win in front of our fans.
"It was a hardworking performance. We had to battle. We had to scrap at times and we've had some decisions go our way as well."
He added: "Unfortunately, players are at different levels in terms of their fitness. Today was a building block to where we need them to be. But it's a building block in the right direction because it was better than last week - although it didn't take much to be better than the first half last week."
