Harry Maguire's header earned Manchester United a hard-fought win at Old Trafford, easing Patrick Dorgu's embarrassment after his part in a calamitous Ipswich opener was compounded by a first-half red card.
Maguire's second-half header ended United's three-match winless run in the league and lifted a little of the gloom after Monday's announcement of a second round of redundancies at the club. Ruben Amorim secured just his fifth league win as United boss despite a disastrous mix-up between Dorgu and keeper Andre Onana that gifted Jaden Philogene an early goal.
Sam Morsy's own goal and a Matthijs de Ligt effort had put United ahead before Dorgu's night got worse, with the 20-year-old's high challenge on Omari Hutchinson earning a red card following a VAR review. Philogene's cross snuck home in first-half stoppage time, but Maguire headed in from a Bruno Fernandes corner to dent third-bottom Ipswich's survival hopes.
Jake O'Brien's first Everton goal stretched their unbeaten run to seven league matches after a 1-1 draw at Brentford. Yoane Wissa's 13th goal of the season put Brentford ahead in first-half stoppage time before O'Brien levelled in the 77th minute.
