Title hopefuls Arsenal rode a Kai Havertz goal to a 1-0 win over Ipswich Town at the Emirates Stadium in a dominant but finish-challenged affair.

Arsenal defeated Ipswich Town the day after Boxing Day moving up to second in the Premier League. Arsenal righted the wrongs from the last league game at home against Everton failing to break down a staunch defense.

Ipswich at home was a game that allowed Rice to be stable as a lone No 6. Even if there were moments when Ipswich played through Arsenal’s press, Havertz did well to track back. It also opened the game up, leading to chances like Jesus’ run in behind for a goal which was just slightly offside.
