Watch the highlights as Arsenal cruised to a 4-0 win over Ipswich Town at Portman Road, with Leandro Trossard netting a brace.

Arsenal produced a clinical performance at Portman Road, brushing aside 10-man Ipswich Town with a 4–0 win that delays Liverpool’s title celebrations.

Goals from Leandro Trossard (2), Gabriel Martinelli, and Ethan Nwaneri ensured a dominant afternoon for Mikel Arteta’s side, while Ipswich’s hopes of Premier League survival continue to fade.

The Gunners struck early through Trossard, who pounced on a loose ball in the box after Bukayo Saka’s driving run and a fortunate touch off Martin Ødegaard.

Arsenal doubled their lead soon after when Mikel Merino’s clever backheel teed up Martinelli to tap home from close range.

Ipswich’s task became near-impossible in the 32nd minute when Leif Davis was shown a straight red for a reckless challenge on Saka.

The hosts failed to register a shot on target in the first half and headed into the break with an xG of just 0.02, compared to Arsenal’s 1.97.

The second half followed a similar script. After Ødegaard went close and Martin Ødegaard hit the post, Arsenal found their third in the 69th minute. Declan Rice slid a pass into Trossard, who fired through the legs of a defender and past Palmer.

Late on, 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri added a fourth. After a short corner, Zinchenko teed him up at the edge of the box. The youngster weaved through two defenders before his shot deflected off Dara O’Shea and wrong-footed the Ipswich keeper.
