Outstanding performance
Everton•DefenderEverton controlled this game from start to finish, racking up 21 shots to Ipswich's 13 and creating five big chances compared to just one for the visitors. Thierno Barry was the difference-maker, opening the scoring in the 11th minute with a left-footed finish and doubling his tally just after the hour mark with a close-range header from a corner. Ipswich's afternoon went from bad to worse when Abdul Fatawu Issahaku was shown a second yellow for simulation in the 67th minute, leaving them to play out the remainder with ten men. For Everton, this result continues to build momentum in a season where positioning matters, while Ipswich, already battling near the foot of the table, will be increasingly concerned by their inability to convert possession into meaningful chances despite four saves from limited shots on target.
