What happened. Thierno Barry's goal gave Everton a 1-0 win over Ipswich, a result that lifts them to fifth and keeps them unbeaten going into the international break. Ipswich's Abdul Fatawu was sent off for simulation, his second bookable offence, in the 67th minute.

• Barry had a second goal ruled out by VAR after offside Brennan Johnson was deemed to have interfered with the goalkeeper.
• Referee Stuart Attwell's decision did not prove decisive, unlike in the Manchester derby.
• Everton end the transfer window unbeaten and sit fifth during the international break.

Everton will look to build on their unbeaten start after the international break, while Ipswich must regroup following the defeat.
