Everton extend unbeaten start under David Moyes

Everton beat Ipswich Town one zero to extend their unbeaten start to the season

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 19 September 2026

David Moyes praised his tight knit squad after Everton secured a narrow victory over Ipswich Town at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Thierno Barry scored the only goal in the eleventh minute when a long range shot from James Tarkowski deflected off him and past the goalkeeper. Barry thought he had added a second goal later in the match, but a video review ruled it out for offside. ## Match statistics

Ipswich suffered a setback when Abdul Fatawu received a second yellow card for simulation, leaving his team with ten players on the pitch. Despite having a numerical advantage, Everton failed to convert several late chances and allowed the visitors to stay in the contest. Everton still managed twenty one shots during the match, showing plenty of attacking intent.

Gary O'Neil felt his Ipswich team deserved more from the fixture despite playing with ten men for a large portion of the second half. The visitors pushed for an equalizer late in the game but lacked quality in the final third. Moyes admitted his side made life difficult for themselves by not scoring a second goal.

Betting implications

This result extends Everton to seven unbeaten matches in all competitions this season under Moyes. Punters backing the Toffees in upcoming markets should note their strong defensive organization and ability to grind out results. Their price in the top half finish and European qualification betting markets will likely shorten following this solid start.
