Ipswich Town vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Portman Road
Everton beat Ipswich 2-0 at Portman Road to secure their first away victory of the Premier League season and leave the Tractor Boys still looking for a maiden win since sealing promotion.
The visitors were clinical with their finishing as Iliman Ndiaye scored in the 17th minute and Michael Keane doubled the Toffees’ advantage five minutes before the break.
Ipswich had wasted a golden opportunity to take the lead through Jack Clarke but he skied his effort high over the bar and they were also denied a first-half penalty when referee Michael Oliver was called to the VAR screen to reverse his initial decision.
Aro Muric was by far the busiest of the two goalkeepers while Everton’s England stopper Jordan Pickford was troubled very little throughout as the well-drilled Everton defence held firm.

Another Ipswich corner sees subsitute Hirst find some space in the six-yard box but his first-time shot lacks power and Pickford can collect the ball for Everton. The home side are starting to create some opportunities but it all seems too late.

Pickford punches the corner away but patient Ipswich buildup sees Szmodics deliver the ball from the left-hand side, and Burgess connect well but he can't keep the header down. Time is starting to tick away from McKenna's men here.

Morsy feeds Hutchinson, who is able to cut in and hit a deflected shot which gives Ipswich a much-needed corner.

The first Ipswich chance of the half sees Szmodics tee up Delap on the egde of the box. The contact is good but he still can only drive his effort over the bar and Pickford is left untroubled again.

Doucoure is on the deck after a challenge from Delap. Tarkowski complains that the striker led with an elbow but the replays show that was not the case. The midfielder is back on his feet.
