Arsenal made Liverpool face an annoying wait to be crowned Premier League champions as Leandro Trossard inspired them to a 4-0 win that pushed Ipswich to the brink of relegation on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s side cruised to their first victory in three league games thanks to Trossard’s double and goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri at Portman Road. Ipswich played more than half the match with 10 men after Leif Davis was sent off for a crude lunge on Bukayo Saka.

Second-placed Arsenal are 10 points behind leaders Liverpool, who need six points from their remaining six games to be crowned English champions for a record-equalling 20th time. Liverpool could have won the title at Leicester on Sunday if Arsenal had lost to Ipswich, but Arne Slot’s men will have to wait a little while longer.
Ipswich had lost all six of their home league games in 2025 and Arsenal preyed on their myriad weaknesses by monopolising 89 per cent of the early possession. It was no surprise when the Gunners took the lead in the 14th minute as Trossard converted a low cross from Saka.
They didn’t have to wait long for a second goal as Martinelli struck in the 28th minute with Mikel Merino setting him up with a deft back-heel. Saka was proving unplayable and Davis responded with an ugly foul that left the Arsenal winger writhing in pain and triggered the latter’s 32nd minute dismissal.
Trossard scored his second of the night in the 69th minute with a clinical finish into the far corner from within the Ipswich box. Nwaneri then punished the home side’s woeful marking in 88th minute, to cap a commanding performance from the Gunners.
