Ipswich followed Hull City's lead, kicking off their Premier League season with a victory. The "Tractor Boys" secured a 2-1 home win against Sunderland, celebrating their return to the top flight in style. They took the lead in the 24th minute when summer signing Julio Enciso intercepted a pass in midfield, advanced to the edge of the box, and set up Emerson, who opened the scoring. The "Black Cats" equalized in the 39th minute with a superb free-kick from Nilsson Angulo. Substitute Jack Clarke then sealed the victory for the hosts in the final minute of regular time.
Having secured promotion, Ipswich invested over £100 million in new signings. Seven of these new additions started the match, with Enciso, brought in from Strasbourg, standing out. He was replaced in the 71st minute by Clarke, whose brilliant late strike delivered the win for the "Tractor Boys."
