Ipswich are still looking for their first victory in the Premier League after a 22 year absence as they lost 2-0 to Everton at Portman Road today.
The result condemned the Town to back to back defeats.
The visitors were clinical with their finishing through Illiman Ndiaye in the 17th minute and Michael Keane five minutes before the break.
Ipswich wasted a golden opportunity to take the lead through Jack Clarke but he skied his effort high over the bar and they were denied a first half penalty when referee Michael Oliver was called to the VAR screen to reverse his initial decision.
Arijanet Muric was by far the busiest of the two goalkeepers while Everton’s England shot stopper Jordan Pickford was troubled very little throughout and the well drilled Everton defence held firm.
The result made little difference to the league positions and they both remained in 16th and 17th spot.
