ARSENAL 1-0 IPSWICH - Report

Arsenal were dominant, yet equally unconvincing, as they eased to a 1-0 win over a toothless Ipswich side to move back up to second place in the Premier League, six points within leaders Liverpool.

Although the Gunners had the bulk of the possession early on, it took them a while to plot a way through a belligerent visiting defence, as they eventually took the lead 23 minutes in when Kai Havertz volleyed home from close range.

Chances were generally limited though, and it was not until after half-time that the hosts had their next real opening, with Gabriel heading off target from a corner.

As the game wore on, Mikel Arteta’s side started to have a bit more joy, with Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice both coming close to doubling the lead.

There were further chances in the closing exchanges for substitute Mikel Merino and Odegaard late on, as Arsenal saw out a 1-0 win that extends their unbeaten run to 11 games, whereas Ipswich, who failed to register a single shot on target, have now lost five times in six outings.
