JULIO ENCISO fired a worldie as relegated Ipswich pulled off a stunning comeback draw.
Everton looked in complete control for much of the first half, boosted by Beto’s brilliant headed opener on 26 minutes and a low-25-yarder from Dwight McNeil soon after.

But shortly before the break Enciso flashed home a right-footer that swerved all over the place on its way past keeper Jordan Pickford.
Sub George Hirst then rewarded Ipswich’s hard-grafting second period by leaping high to nod a backpost leveller on 79 minutes.
But Everton still leapfrogged Manchester United to go 14th in the Prem.
It was the Toffees’ second-last game at Goodison Park.
Among the legendary ex-Toffees in attendance were top-flight title winners Graeme Sharp and Peter Reid.
And they witnessed an entertaining draw, albeit with Ipswich doomed in third bottom – 14 points below West Ham.
