What happened. Thierno Barry's deflected effort settled a low-quality match as Everton beat Ipswich 1-0 at the Hill Dickinson. VAR then denied Barry a second, ruling Brennan Johnson offside and interfering with play.

• James Tarkowski's long-range strike hit Barry and wrong-footed Christian Walton for the only goal.
• Ipswich's Abdul Fatawu was sent off for two bookable offences.
• Everton managed just two shots on target from 21 attempts.

“The goal has been ruled out with Johnson deemed to be affecting the goalkeeper, but this is a bad decision.”

— Sue Smith

The win extends Everton's unbeaten start and lifts them to fifth, while Ipswich's wastefulness and Fatawu's dismissal leave Gary O'Neil frustrated.
