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.

Everton are once again happy to have men behind the ball when Ipswich hold possession, and hit them on the counter with the likes of Harrison and McNeil. Ipswich not threatening at all. and the match has become rather flat.

Ipswich knit play nicely down the right with Hutchinson and Delap, but Phillips overhits his cross and the move breaks down.

Everton pin Ipswich back again but Davis makes a great interception to thwart Harrison down the right. Lovely bit of skill from Calvert-Lewin in the buildup to the move.

Everton break clear from an Ipswich corner and Ndiaye feeds Calvert-Lewin with his back to goal. He tries to round Muric but the angle is tight, though he manages to win a corner. However, nothing comes from it.

Everton have a record of winning one match, drawing another and losing another when leading at half-time in the Premier League this season.

Ipswich have barely even threatened Everton's half so far, with the away side looking well-drilled and comfortable out of possession. The home crowd just starting to get a bit restless here.

A slip by O'Shea gives Ndiaye the change to surge forward with the ball. He manages to get a shot off, but the power is lacking and Muric can save comfortably. More errors at the back from Ipswich though.

Harrison is tripped by Phillips and Everton have a free-kick. McKenna will not be happy with the performance of his side so far in this second half. There has been no reaction.
