Everton continued their unbeaten streak in the Premier League, securing a 2-0 victory against Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Sean Dyche's team showed no signs of slowing down after the international break. Goals from Iliman Ndiaye and Michael Keane in the first half ensured Everton's second league win this season.

Despite Ipswich's efforts to bounce back after halftime, they struggled to create significant chances. Conor Chaplin's late attempt was their best opportunity, but it posed little threat to Jordan Pickford. Everton, on the other hand, had better chances with Ndiaye and Dominic Calvert-Lewin unable to convert against Arijanet Muric.

The Toffees have now gone four games without a loss, winning two and drawing two. This match marked their first away win in the Premier League since December 2023 when they defeated Burnley 2-0. Under Dyche's leadership since February 2023, Everton has achieved 20 clean sheets across all competitions.

Ipswich remains winless since returning to the top flight. Their current streak is reminiscent of previous struggles in the 2009-10 and 2018-19 seasons when they endured longer winless runs at the start of an English league campaign.

Ndiaye impressed once more by scoring in consecutive away matches with a stunning goal in the 17th minute. Keane added another just before halftime with a smart finish from close range. A pivotal moment came when referee Michael Oliver reversed his penalty decision for Ipswich after reviewing Dwight McNeil's challenge on Jack Clarke via VAR.

Everton's performance was solid throughout, with minimal threats from Ipswich post-break. The visitors had opportunities to extend their lead but were unable to capitalise on them effectively.

This victory highlights Everton's improved form after a challenging start to the season where they lost their first four league matches. The team's defensive solidity has been crucial in turning their fortunes around as they continue to climb up the table.
