Ipswich's £150m signings combine for 90th-minute winner on Premier League opening day

Ipswich Town beat Sunderland 2-1 on 22 August 2026, settled by a 90th-minute winner from Emersonn, set up by Julio Enciso. The pair arrived for £24m and £26m respectively — both club-record fees — as part of a summer spend exceeding £150m. Enciso, formerly of Brighton, held the record for about a month before Emersonn's signing; Ipswich then surpassed it again to land Enciso.
