After the international break, Southampton has been displaying encouraging performances and was prepared to face Ipswich Town, aiming to take their first points of the new season. Manager Russell Martin made a surprising decision to play Charlie Taylor at left back instead of Kyle Walker-Peters, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis returned to the lineup as expected after a brilliant defensive performance against Everton. In the first half, the Saints started the match again on a high note, as they did against Manchester United in the previous home fixture.

However, this time they scored the early goal as young prodigy Tyler Dibling continued his impressive form with a brilliant finish in the first half. Dibling scored his first Premier League goal, and Russell Martin's side advanced forward several times to find the back of the net again and double their lead. Cameron Archer, who missed a penalty against Manchester United, came very close to scoring his first Premier League goal; however, his attempt came off the goalpost.
The Saints were reliable in the defense and managed to keep their 1-0 lead going into halftime. In the second half, Southampton again created a lot of good chances inside the box, with Ipswich Town goalkeeper Muric making a huge save on Archer's other attempt on goal. Ipswich Town also created some chances to find an equalizer, but Russell Martin's side was reliable in the defense as they aimed to take their first points in the league with a home win.
