Another start, records three shots
Emersonn had three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Manchester City.
Analysis: Emersonn would go a third straight match without a goal Saturday, failing to score despite three shots, with none of his shots on net. That said, the forward remains with two goals and one assist all season in his seven appearances, still having yet to miss a start.
Option against Everton
Emersonn (quadriceps) is fine and available for Saturday's clash against Everton, according to manager Gary O'Neil, per East Anglian. "Emersonn all good, he'll be fine. He settled down well from the tight quad he had. Missing the game in the week helped him so he's available."
Analysis: Emersonn had been dealing with a tight quad after departing the win over Crystal Palace in the second half, though manager Gary O'Neil had already downplayed the issue as precautionary at the time, noting he had contributed a goal and an assist before the withdrawal. His confirmed availability now removes any lingering doubt heading into the match against the Toffees right before the international break.
Scores in EPL debut
Emersonn scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sunderland.
Analysis: The Brazilian forward opened the scoring for Ipswich in the 24th minute with a tap-in into the open goal following a remarkable assist from Julio Enciso (leg). Emersonn provided a spark in the final meters with his creativity and associative play, and given how well he linked up on offense with Enciso, Abdul Fatawu and Daizen Maeda, he should continue as the spearhead of the attack when the Tractor Boys take on Manchester United next Sunday, Aug. 30.
Scores late winner
Emersonn scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Strasbourg.
Analysis: Emersonn delivered the game-winner in Sunday's 2-1 Ligue 1 road victory at Strasbourg, striking in the 84th minute after timing his run to perfection to stay onside and meet Cristian Casseres' pinpoint through ball before coolly finishing past Mike Penders to seal all three points for Toulouse. He's now up to six league goals on the season, continuing to make his presence felt in the attack. That said, he's still battling Jacen Russell-Rowe for a spot in the starting XI as Toulouse pushes through the final stretch of the campaign.
Scores late equaliser as a sub
Emersonn scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Monaco.
Analysis: Emersonn scored his fifth goal of the season as he helped Toulouse level the scoring in the 90th minute against Monaco. He took three shots in the game, a number he didn't hit in the three games he started but did hit in his last substitute appearance, which he also scored.
