Everton's run without defeat in the Premier League continued as Thierno Barry's goal secured a win over Ipswich Town, who finished the match with 10 players. The result lifted Everton to fifth in the table.
Barry's strike proved to be the difference between the sides, with Everton managing to protect their lead as the game progressed. Ipswich, reduced to 10 men, were unable to find an equaliser despite periods of pressure, while Everton held firm to preserve the advantage.
The victory will be seen as a boost for Everton's campaign, moving them into the top five and reinforcing their recent positive form in the league. Ipswich, meanwhile, will be left to reflect on the impact of the sending-off and what might have been had they remained at full strength.
Both sides now turn their attention to forthcoming fixtures as the Premier League season progresses, with Everton aiming to build on their unbeaten sequence and Ipswich seeking a response to return to winning ways.
