Arsenal delivered a commanding performance on Sunday, defeating Ipswich Town 4-0 at Portman Road. The result puts a hold on Liverpool’s expected title celebration, as the Gunners kept their hopes of catching the league leaders alive.
Leandro Trossard played a key role, scoring twice and setting the tone for a much-needed victory. Gabriel Martinelli and teenager Ethan Nwaneri also found the back of the net. This marked Arsenal’s first league win in three games.
Ipswich’s troubles worsened after defender Leif Davis received a red card for a harsh tackle on Bukayo Saka. The loss leaves Ipswich dangerously close to relegation, with survival hopes fading fast.
Despite sitting 10 points behind Liverpool, Arsenal still have a mathematical chance to match the Merseyside club’s points total. They need six more points from their final six matches to stay in the title race and potentially equal Manchester United’s record of 20 English league titles.
Earlier in the week, Arsenal secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009. The team progressed after a decisive victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu and will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the next round.
