Ipswich, April 20 (NationPress) Arsenal capped off an incredible week with a resounding 4–0 victory over Ipswich Town at Portman Road, marking their first league match there in more than 23 years. This win postpones Liverpool's title celebrations, which would have been secured had the Gunners faltered, depending on their match against Leicester City.

Fresh from their Champions League semi-final qualification, Mikel Arteta’s squad maintained their momentum in domestic play with a commanding display, highlighted by a stunning brace from Leandro Trossard.

The Gunners seized control early, and Trossard was quick to score the opener. A rapid counter-attack saw Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka collaborate to set up the Belgian, who netted Arsenal’s 100th goal of the season. Just 14 minutes later, Gabriel Martinelli extended the lead with a simple tap-in at the far post, marking his 50th goal for the club after a clever flick from Mikel Merino.

Ipswich’s prospects for a comeback were further diminished when Leif Davis received a straight red card for a reckless stamp on Saka. Arsenal continued to press, and in the 68th minute, a short-corner routine allowed Trossard to score his second, curling a precise shot past Palmer to bring the score to 3–0.

The scoring was capped in the dying minutes when 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri struck a deflected shot into the net after being assisted by Ødegaard, adding further polish to the scoreline and confirming an emphatic victory.

With Trossard’s brace, Martinelli’s milestone, and another academy talent making his presence felt, Arsenal delivered a comprehensive team performance. The outcome extended Ipswich’s winless streak to 13 matches and solidified Arsenal’s status among the elite in the Premier League, buoyed by a memorable week of football.

Arsenal will return to Premier League action on Wednesday, facing FA Cup semi-finalists Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, and will then host Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-finals.
