Everton's unbeaten start to the Premier League season continued on Saturday, defeating newly-promoted Ipswich Town 1-0 at Hill Dickinson.
The Toffees made a swift start to the game when James Tarkowski's shot cannoned off Thierno Barry and found the back of the net, giving Everton the lead after 11 minutes.
Both teams continued to trade chances, and Everton eventually thought they had doubled their lead through another Barry goal on the hour mark, only for VAR to rule it out due to an offside.
Ipswich Town were reduced to 10 men shortly after as Abdul Fatawu was handed a second yellow card for simulation, and although the opportunities kept coming for both teams, Everton ultimately held on to their 1-0 lead.
Victory for Everton means they climb to fifth in the Premier League table, while Ipswich Town are 11th in the standings.

Newcastle United handed newly-promoted Hull City their first defeat of the Premier League season on Saturday, claiming a hard-fought 2-1 victory at St. James' Park.
The Magpies flew out of the blocks from the first whistle, with Joe Willock scoring inside three minutes before Lewis Hall added a second only four minutes later.
Yoane Wissa had the opportunity to settle the match when Newcastle were awarded a penalty just before the break, but Konstantinos Tzolakis kept his side in the game with a superb stop.
Substitute Mohamed Ali-Cho arrived from the bench and scored only four minutes later for Hull City to make it a nervy ending for Newcastle, with the Magpies' backs against the wall as the Tigers pushed for a late equaliser.
However, Newcastle managed to survive the onslaught to seal the three points and hand Hull City their first defeat in the Premier League this season.
Newcastle, as a result, climb to eighth in the standings, only behind ninth-placed Hull City on goal difference.
