Arsenal vs Ipswich: Player Ratings from 4-0 victory
Arsenal eased past Ipswich with a confident 4-0 win as they looked to end the Premier League season strongly.
Despite Liverpool being two wins from the title, the Gunners remain focused on finishing as high as possible.
The match started with high intensity. Leandro Trossard gave Arsenal the lead in the 14th minute with a tidy finish.
Gabriel Martinelli added a second before the half-hour mark. The visitors were then reduced to ten men when Leif Davis was sent off.
His reckless challenge on Bukayo Saka left the Arsenal winger in pain and changed the game’s momentum.
Trossard grabbed his second in the 69th minute, while young Ethan Nwaneri wrapped things up with a deflected goal.
Arsenal Player Ratings After Ipswich Victory
David Raya – 7
The goalkeeper had a calm afternoon with no saves required. Another clean sheet in the bag for the Spaniard.
Ben White – 8
Slotted back into the starting line-up and made the right flank his own. Linked up well with Odegaard and Saka.
Jakub Kiwior – 8
Reliable and alert at the back. Stepped up well in the absence of Gabriel Magalhaes and stopped several Ipswich breaks.
William Saliba – 8
Cool and composed at the heart of defence. Had little to deal with but stayed sharp when needed.
Oleksandr Zinchenko – 7
Got a rare start and performed well. His inverted role suited the team’s build-up play and gave control in midfield.
Declan Rice – 8
Dropped deeper but still made key forward passes. Put in strong tackles and assisted Trossard’s second goal.
Mikel Merino – 9
Very close to man of the match. Moved back into midfield and still caused problems. Provided a brilliant assist before coming off.
Martin Odegaard – 7
Pulled the strings in midfield. Always found space and helped Arsenal stay on the front foot throughout the match.
Bukayo Saka – 6
Caused problems early on with his direct runs. However, missed a few chances and came off in the second half, after enduring Davis’s tough tackle in the first half.
Leandro Trossard – 8
Worked hard as a false nine and finished both goals with great confidence. Unlucky not to complete a hat-trick.
Gabriel Martinelli – 7
Made history by scoring his 50th Arsenal goal. Constantly troubled Tuanzebe and took his goal with composure.
Substitutes
Ethan Nwaneri – 7
Calm and confident. Scored the fourth goal with help from a deflection, capping off a good cameo.
Myles Lewis-Skelly – 5
Energetic in midfield and tidy in possession. Did well after Rice went off.
Raheem Sterling – 4
Came on late but failed to make any real impact. Looked off the pace in attacking moments.
Nathan Butler-Oyedeji – N/A
Made his Premier League debut. Nearly scored with a strong shot but was denied by the goalkeeper.
