Everton Ease Past Ipswich in Pre-Season Friendly
It was a good day to be a Toffee! Everton, looking to get back to their winning ways after a bit of a rough season, took on Ipswich Town in a pre-season friendly, and boy, did they deliver.
The Blues dominated from the get-go, showing off some slick passing and a real hunger for goals. They were rewarded for their efforts in the first half when Dominic Calvert-Lewin, making his comeback from injury, headed home a well-placed cross.
The second half saw more of the same with Everton in complete control. A beautiful solo goal from Demarai Gray, who was on fire, sealed the deal and put the game to bed.
This comfortable 2-0 win will give Frank Lampard and his team a much-needed boost heading into the new season. The lads looked sharp, and they're clearly hungry for success.
It's still early days, but this performance has got Everton fans buzzing. They'll be hoping for more of the same when the real action kicks off in August.
Here are some key takeaways from the match:
- Calvert-Lewin is back! He looked sharp and hungry for goals.
- Demarai Gray is a real weapon. He's clearly got some magic in his boots.
- The team is gelling nicely. They're playing with a purpose and a real understanding.
Overall, a positive start to the pre-season for Everton. Let's hope they can carry this momentum into the new season and challenge for a top-six spot.
Come on you Toffees!
