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.

Doucoure surges through the centre of the pitch before dinking a delicate chipped pass towards Calvert-Lewin. The striker snatches at the chance with his weaker foot and skews his effort wide. Everton look far more likelier to add to their advantage right now.

Calvert-Lewin does well down the left, skipping past the challenge of Burns before delivering a dangerous cross which is eventually cleared. A really powerful run from the centre-forward, who has had a very impressive match so far.

Neither side has started the second half with any authority, with attacks breaking down already due to errors or a lack of real quality when carrying the ball. McNeil tries to slip in Harrison but the pass is wayward and the opportunity is spurned.

Ndiaye seized on a costly error from Burns to put the away side in front before a thumping finish from Keane towards the end of the first half put them further in control. Ipswich have looked bright at times, with Clarke squandering a golden opportunity to put Kieran McKenna's side in front just minutes into the match. The winger also thought he had win his side a penalty but VAR overturned the decision on review. Everton have generated an xG of 0.95 to Ipswich's 0.67. It will prove to be a huge second half for the newly-promoted outfit, who are still without a win this season.
