Everton 2-2 Ipswich: Tractor Boys going down with a fight

On a day when the headlines were all about Everton's final Saturday 15:00 kick-off at Goodison Park before moving to new stadium Bramley-Moore Dock, Ipswich ensured they had a big role in the story.

In any other season a game in early May between a club already relegated - Ipswich - and a team set for a bottom half finish - Everton - would likely be overlooked by many, however, the occasion added a much-needed layer to encounter.

Everton were undoubtedly lifted by the atmosphere, with flags, banners and ticker tape greeting them on to the field, and it wasn't long until they led 2-0 through Beto and Dwight McNeil.

However, it might have been a case of throwing too much into the opening stages for the hosts as they soon started to fade and Ipswich found a foothold.

Julio Enciso was the catalyst for the comeback with a stunning 30-yard strike shortly before half-time.

George Hirst's header with 11 minutes remaining drew Kieran McKenna's side level but Ipswich were unable to find a winner.

Ipswich are playing for pride at this point and it was a performance their fans can be proud of as they make the long journey back to Suffolk.
