Ipswich Town 0-4 Arsenal - Leandro Trossard fires double against 10-man home side as slick Gunners delay Liverpool's Premier League title party

Arsenal outclassed relegation-haunted Ipswich Town 4-0 at Portman Road to delay champions-elect Liverpool's Premier League title party for at least another week.

Buoyed by their glorious 2-1 win at Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in midweek, Mikel Arteta's side picked up from where they left off by putting on their sparkling Sunday best.

Leandro Trossard found the opener after some fine build-up work involving Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard on 14 minutes before Gabriel Martinelli converted his 50th goal for the Gunners on 28 minutes after Mikel Merino had backheeled Saka's cross into his path.

A tough assignment for Ipswich became impossible when Leif Davis was sent off on 32 minutes for a raking late challenge on Saka.

The gulf between the sides was given a truer reflection with Trossard (69') and substitute Ethan Nwaneri (88') adding further goals with Ipswich, who are 15 points behind West Ham with five games remaining, camped inside their own box for most of the second period.

Arsenal closed the gap to 10 points at the summit before Liverpool visited Leicester later on Sunday.

It means Arne Slot's side will have to wait until their meeting with Tottenham at Anfield next Sunday before they can officially become champions.

"I think it was a great game overall. We had a lot of chances, and in the end scored four. So well done to everyone," said the Belgium forward on Sky Sports after scoring a double in the 4-0 Premier League win at Ipswich.

"It is important for ourselves. We don't need to look at them [Liverpool], we just have to keep going like this and take it game by game.

"We want to win every game, but we know how tough it is in the league. A good win today, and we just need to keep pushing forward.

"It is nice to be on the scoresheet again and helping the team to get a win.

"We are there for a reason, we have been doing very well in the Champions League.

"We have to keep believing."

Oleksandr Zinchenko lifts the ball over, but it all ends in a 4-0 victory for the Gunners. As one-sided as it gets. Ipswich battled hard with 10 men, but were outclassed on the day.

Referee can blow for full-time any time he wants. Two goals for Arsenal in first and second half has put the gloss on another outstanding win for the Gunners.

Sam Morsy is replaced by Conor Chaplin as we head towards the final whistle.

Ethan Nwaneri gets in on the act as he fires home into the corner of the net from the Oleksandr Zinchenko assist work. Took a defection, but they all count.

Nathan Butler-Oyedeji replaces Leandro Trossard, whose two goals are applauded by the visiting fans.

Liam Delap replaces George Hirst and Massimo Luongo is on for Jens Cajuste

Had been hard enough with 11 men, but the extra man has been a brutal task for the home side, who have had only five touches today inside the Gunners box. Done well to hang in there in this second half.

But he is offside after setting off too quickly. Wolves are leading 1-0 at Man Utd. Which means Ipswich can only catch West Ham, who will be 15 points ahead with five games remaining. Plus the Hammers boast a better goal difference. Only a matter of time.

Is the cry from the Arsenal fans as they bid to reach the UEFA Champions League final next month. First up is that trip to France to take on PSG in the last four. That looks like it will be an epic battle on current form.

Martinelli and Rice are given a rest with Raheem Sterling and Tierney introduced for the visitors. Tierney with his 100th Premier League appearance today. A nice milestone.

A 3-0 lead for Arsenal is probably a fairer reflection of how this match has played out today. But it is not yet done. Looks like Arsenal are going to make further changes.

The Gunners work a short corner before Rice picks out Trossard who slams the finish low through the legs of Hirst and into the net with Palmer left unsighted. It is 3-0 now.

Ball deflects wide as he goes for goal as Arsenal are awarded a corner-kick. Trossard cutting inside before he sees his shot blocked by Morsy for another corner. Greaves then charges down the Martinelli finish.

Almost at the halfway line to feed the ball to his teammates. Probably to keep himself warm. Apart from the Hirst shot which flew wide, little of note to do this afternoon in the visiting goal. Game has dropped down a few gears. No question.

Odegaard asking the question with a decent effort from distance, but Palmer gets down well to make the stop.

Don't think it is anything too serious in the technical area, but the studs of Davis definitely made contact with a raking challenge and studs up prompting the red card by referee Chris Kavanagh.
