The penultimate match at Goodison Park,
the final ever Saturday three o'clock kick-off here,
and the emotion, the noise inside this stadium is clear.
What a sight.
The countdown to the very last game here continues,
for some fans this may well be their final chance to take it all in.
Bright blue sky over Goodison,
two Everton changes from last week at Chelsea,
Jack Harrison drops to the bench,
while Abdoulaye Dekore misses the game through personal issues.
Dwight McNeil comes in and starts for the first time since December 4th,
it's his 100th Everton appearance.
And Charlie Alcaraz also starts, his fifth Premier League start for the club.
And Dominic Calvert-Lewin is back in the squad,
he's amongst these substitutes today,
his last appearance was at Brighton on 25th January.
The noise inside this stadium is quite incredible,
the flags, the banners, the blue, that is clearly evidence.
Fantastic to see.
Well, today, incredibly, sees a first for David Moyes,
this is his 1,167th game as a manager,
but his first ever meeting against Ipswich Town in 27 years as a boss.
Wonderful, wonderful atmosphere.
The flags, the banners that have been unfurled in the build-up to kick off.
A fine sight, confetti sprayed on the pitch,
it's like a tick-or-take reception for the teams when they came out.
Everton attacking from right to left,
defending that Gladys Street goal away to our right.
It's certainly an atmosphere to savour,
just think what the last one will be like here.
Not too far away now.
James Garner, Beto had made a little move forward between the two centre-backs.
Dwight McNeil, great control, great turn,
he's weaving his way all the way into the penalty area,
and Beto was just denied.
It will be an Everton corner.
Sent deep towards Brantwaite, Brantwaite heading it back across goal,
Beto!
Straight at the goalkeeper, couldn't really get any power on it either.
Good corner routine from Everton.
James Garner.
Paterson.
Here's Illyman and Dye.
He's done well there, he's won Everton another corner.
Second of the game.
Everton, plenty of possession early on.
Corner again from McNeil, it's a good one, and Palmer fists away.
Mikalenko lofts it back in, Beto.
Oh, spectacular overhead kick, his boot was certainly high.
And he went for Illyman and Dye here.
He's got that inside for Beto.
Couldn't get a shot away, but Alcaraz might.
Now he brings in Paterson, straight at the goalkeeper.
It was well-worked by Everton, it was better football,
they opened it up a little.
And on Paterson's effort, he might have wanted a cut back here.
Alcaraz couldn't get a shot away, so Paterson.
I think he was trying to pick out Beto, in fairness to him.
Burgess.
For Sagan, OK, read that one, and his header's found Beto.
Here's Alcaraz.
Mikalenko getting forward now in support, now he'll deliver.
Decent block.
And it goes this time, and there's the header, there's the goal!
Beautifully done by Beto!
Oh, he's enjoying that one all right.
His first goal since the 22nd of February against Manchester United.
He steers a header home wonderfully well.
Just like a centre-forward should do.
There's the salute.
Everton 1-0 Ipswich.
James Garner.
Pushed into Undie, now pushed out wide for Paterson.
Dwight McNeil's found space, gets a shot away...
What a goal!
Oh, what a strike.
Dwight McNeil at it again, from outside the box.
On his 100th Everton appearance, it's an absolute beauty.
His first start since December 4th,
and he caps it with a brilliantly taken goal.
Have a look at this, again and again.
Well, a goal to savour from Dwight McNeil.
He found the space, and he did the rest, and Everton are on fire here.
Illyman and Dye taking them on.
Illyman and Dye delivers, grasped by Parma near post.
Chaplin for Anciso.
Anciso for Ipswich.
They're looking for a response, not like that, though.
Food and drink to Jordan Pickford.
And Everton forcing them backwards to build again, which they do.
And now Anciso goes for goal!
In some style, too.
What about that strike?
Oh, that is half-time at Goodison Park.
We've had three goals, three very good goals.
Beto with the first of those on 26 minutes,
but bettered in some style, a goal to savour from McNeil,
before Anciso almost matched it on 41 minutes to get Ipswich back in the game.
Goodison has seen some great goals over the years,
we've seen a couple of absolute belters so far this afternoon.
Half-time, Everton 2-1 Ipswich.
And we are back on the way.
Paterson, to right-wing Neil.
Great ball in, and it just swerves past two Everton players,
Beto and Illyman and Dye, who are coming in on it.
They've beat them both.
Here's O'Brien.
McNeil's done well, finding space, well found by O'Brien.
McNeil, dinks one to the far post, and the keeper had to get a touch on that.
Just pushed it away, and wide of goal in the end.
Everton will settle for the throw-in on the far side,
but McNeil looking dangerous again.
Palmer, palmed it away.
A teasing ball in, wasn't it?
Palmer had to make contact with it, and did.
Beto is withdrawn.
And Dominic Calverlune is going to get about a quarter of an hour here.
Well, his first appearance since January 25th at Brighton,
when he went off injured after 14 minutes.
Dwight McNeil gets a great reception.
What a goal it was.
Jack Harrison is his replacement.
And the ball is with Hutchinson for Ipswich.
Hutchinson taking on Idrissa Ganegei,
and the header at the far post is tucked home by George Hurst.
So Ashley Young replacing Nathan Paterson in the final eight minutes or so.
Here's Yousef Chimiti, Chimiti goes near post,
and it's behind for the corner.
But there will not be time, the referee has blown the final whistle,
and Ipswich have managed to come from two goals down to deny Everton all three points.
A frustrating second half for Everton in the end, after they led 2-1 at the break,
through Beto's brilliant header and Dwight McNeil's sumptuous strike.
It's finished, Everton 2, Ipswich 2.
