Ipswich Town have taken the lead over Sunderland in their opening Premier League fixture of the 2026/27 season, and it's all thanks to their new signings from Ligue 1.

The Tractor Boys return to the top flight this term after their relegation in 2025 and will have every hope of surviving the drop this time around.

They've enjoyed a productive summer in terms of incomings, and new boys Julio Enciso and Emersonn combined to give them the lead.

With less than 30 minutes played, Enciso did well to win the ball back high, beat his man and play a lovely pass across the box for his teammate to fire home.

In doing so, Emersonn also became the first Brazilian to score for Ipswich Town.

Is this a sign of positive things to come, or a potential false dawn for Gary O'Neil's side?
