Everton vs Ipswich Town

Everton made it back-to-back home Premier League wins, edging Ipswich 1-0 at Hill Dickinson Stadium in a game that swung firmly the Toffees' way after the break. The decisive moment came early, but the contest turned into a real test of Ipswich's resolve once they were down to ten men. Thierno Barry broke the deadlock in the 11th minute, turning home a deflected long-range effort from James Tarkowski for his fifth goal of the season. Ipswich pushed back through Abdul Fatawu and Leif Davis, who spurned a close-range chance, but Fatawu was then shown a second yellow in the 67th minute, leaving the visitors a man short. Barry thought he had a second soon after, but VAR chalked it off for interference from Brennan Johnson. The win keeps Everton unbeaten in the league and moving nicely under David Moyes, who continues to have Ipswich's number. For O'Neil's side, it's a frustrating afternoon that leaves them still searching for their first real foothold in the top flight this season.
