Commentary
Everton maintain their unbeaten start to the new season with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Ipswich. Barry's goal in the 11th-minute was enough to secure the three points for the hosts after the ball ricocheted off the Toffees forward from Tarkowski's shot. Ipswich had chances of their own to equalise, but couldn't find a way past Pickford in the Everton goal. Barry also thought he'd bagged a second in the second half, only for VAR to chalk it off for offside a few minutes later. Fatawu had been a bright spark for the visitors, but was sent off in the 67th-minute when he received a second yellow card for simulation. Everton recorded 2.31 xG compared to Ipswich's 1.3, and the hosts now look to a trip to Hull after the international break. Meanwhile, Ipswich prepare to host Fulham the day prior. That's all for this one, thanks for joining us!
FULL-TIME: EVERTON 1-0 IPSWICH TOWN
Flemming tries to hoist a desperate cross into the Everton box, but Pickford is able to punch it clear. That might be that...

Armstrong is shown a late yellow card for a tactical foul on Philogene.
Everton are getting a little desperate with their defending now. They need that full-time whistle...
LATE CHANCE FOR FLEMMING!! Ipswich launch the ball forward through Diop, and Everton fail to clear. It then falls to Flemming, who tries to poke a right-footed Everton beyond Pickford in the penalty area, but the Ipswich forward can't keep the shot down, and the ball flies over the crossbar. Flemming has to be doing better there...
