Arsenal delay Liverpool’s title hopes with dominant 4-0 win over Ipswich

Arsenal delivered a commanding performance at Portman Road to postpone Liverpool’s Premier League title celebrations, cruising past a 10-man Ipswich Town side teetering on the brink of relegation.

Fresh from their Champions League triumph over Real Madrid, the Gunners showcased their strength once again, dominating the match from the outset.

Their pressure paid off early, with Bukayo Saka whipping in a dangerous cross in the 14th minute.

Martin Ødegaard applied a faint touch, allowing Leandro Trossard to slot home the opener and set Arsenal on their way to a convincing victory.

They doubled their lead after more good work by Saka, whose cross into the area was cleverly flicked on by Mikel Merino for Gabriel Martinelli to tap into an empty net.

Ipswich’s task was then made even harder when Leif Davis was shown a red card in the 32nd minute for a poor tackle on Saka.

Trossard added his second of the game in the 69th minute when he finished smartly from inside the area after a well-worked Arsenal short corner.

Substitute Ethan Nwaneri scored a fourth for Arsenal with a deflected shot two minutes from time.

The Gunners had good chances to score more – one for Merino and two for Saka – and Mikel Arteta would have expected them to be taken.

This was Ipswich’s seventh home defeat of 2025, which leaves them clinging on to their Premier League status for one more week.
