GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Ipswich (Havertz, 23) Arsenal find their breakthrough

Arsenal 1-0 Ipswich

"I was just observing just how much tracking Sam Szmodics has had to do so far in this game as he tried to play out from the back building up to Arsenal regaining possession on the near touchline. 

"He was visibly blowing, and you imagine those Ipswich thighs are burning from the amount of pressure they were having to absorb.

"Arsenal quickly going in search of a second."

Arsenal 1-0 Ipswich

"A 12th goal of the season for Havertz. Trossard did well, bursting past Johnson on the left and delivering a wicked cross, although Ipswich will feel they should have defended it better."

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Ipswich (Havertz, 23)

Arsenal find their breakthrough!

Ipswich's resistance is broken as Trossard keeps the ball alive on the left to steal a yard on Ben Johnson to produce a delicious ball low and hard that is swept high into the net by the elusive Kai Havertz.

He ghosted in there to strike!

FPL assist: Leandro Trossard

Arsenal 0-0 Ipswich

"Timber injects a bit of urgency into proceedings. An excellent run and a decent strike from the defender. Arsenal have made 210 passes to Ipswich's nine so far, according to Opta, but that was only their second shot. Ipswich holding out for now.

Arsenal 0-0 Ipswich

21: Incidentally, the referee tonight is Darren England, who is urged to penalise Muric for the length of time taken to release the ball from his gloves following that Timber strike.  

Arteta can't allow this place to get restless like it did against Everton, and indeed in that first half in the Carabao Cup against Palace.

Arsenal 0-0 Ipswich

19: SAVE! It's taken nearly 20 minutes but Jurrien Timber now decides to take matters into his own hands as he drives into a central space before firing right-footed from 25 yards out straight down the throat of Muric.
