Arsenal cruised to a 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town, delaying Liverpool’s Premier League title charge with a ruthless display at Portman Road. The Gunners’ attacking fluency and defensive composure underscored their dominance, capping a stellar week following their Champions League triumph over Real Madrid.  

Ipswich briefly threatened when Enciso miscued a chance early on, but Arsenal capitalized swiftly. A blistering counter-attack led by Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka culminated in Leandro Trossard slotting home despite slipping, netting Arsenal’s 100th goal of the season. Gabriel Martinelli then tapped in his 50th Arsenal goal after Mikel Merino’s clever flick from Saka’s cross, exposing the gulf in class. 

Ipswich’s hopes evaporated when Leif Davis was sent off for a reckless foul on Saka, reducing Ipswich to 10 men before halftime. Arsenal’s control intensified after the break, with Trossard adding a second via a low finish. Teenager Ethan Nwaneri sealed the rout late on, his deflected strike compounding Ipswich’s misery. Standout Performances included Trossard’s brace anchored by Mikel Merino’s intelligence and a few other dominant performances. Arsenal’s defensive discipline and rapid transitions overwhelmed Ipswich - made it a comfortable watch. Great team win. We go for another…pushing on! C'mon Arsenal!
