Arsenal clearly dominated Ipswich (4-0), reduced to ten and almost relegated, and consolidated his second place in the Premier League, dismissing the possibility for Liverpool to be crowned Champion of England on Sunday. The “Gunners” did the job four days after their victory in the quarterfinals of the Champions League on the lawn of Real Madrid, with a team only reworked in small touches.
Mikel Arteta took advantage of the trip to Portman Road to test a new configuration for the semi-final to go against Paris Saint-Germain on April 29, which the defensive midfielder Thomas Parte will miss due to a suspension. Declan Rice fell back to ensure this role of sentry in front of the defense, while Mikel Merino replaced him as a relayer environment.
The winger Leandro Trossard held the center-forward post that the injured Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz cannot assume, and he distinguished himself by a double (14th, 69th). Gabriel Martinelli (28th, 2-0) and the entrant Ethan Nwaneri (88th, 4-0) also participated in the offensive festival. Bukayo Saka, very stirring, was involved in the first two goals. He also had opportunities to score (38th, 44th) and it was he who caused, unwittingly, the red card of Leif Davis (32nd).
The defender wiped his crampons on the right heel of the winger, who continued to play until the 57th minute. Saka then appeared with a pocket of ice on the sidelines. With 21 points and five remaining days, Ipswich can no longer hope to be maintained, even if its relegation is not official. The first non -relegation, West Ham (17th, 36 pts), has 15 more points and a much more favorable goal difference. Arsenal (66 pts) conversely cemented its position on the second step of the podium, ahead of Newcastle (3rd, 59th) and behind Liverpool (1st, 76 pts), expected in Leicester at the end of the afternoon.
