Ipswich Rescues Draw Against Everton in Goodison Farewell

Everton and Ipswich Town played to a 2-2 draw in what was the penultimate match at Goodison Park before Everton's move to Bramley-Moore Dock next season, marking the last traditional Saturday 3pm kickoff at the historic stadium. Everton took an early 2-0 lead with goals from Beto and Dwight McNeil, boosted by a vibrant pre-match atmosphere and celebrations involving club legends. However, Ipswich clawed back with a long-range effort from Julio Enciso just before halftime and a late header from George Hirst to secure the draw. The result bumped Everton up to 14th in the Premier League while Ipswich, already relegated, remain in 18th. Despite the stakes being relatively low, the match was significant for both clubs' fans, with Ipswich showing resilience and Everton supporters marking the end of an era at their longstanding home. The final farewell at Goodison Park will take place against Southampton in a fortnight, closing a chapter of 133 years of football history.
