Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli both scored on Sunday against Ipswich Town to put Arsenal 2-0 ahead, and most likely, delay Liverpool's Premier League title party until next week.

The Gunners, visiting Ipswich Town on matchday 33 of the Premier League, must avoid losing at Portman Road if they want to hold off Arne Slot's men from claiming the title.

Liverpool travel to Leicester later on Sunday, but they will only be crowned champions if they win against the Foxes and Arsenal lose away against the Tractor Boys.

However, despite there still being 45 minutes until full-time, Mikel Arteta's men look to have already put the game to bed, finding themselves 2-0 up against Kieran McKenna's side.

Trossard opened the scoring in the 14th minute from Saka's assist before Martinelli doubled the lead, slotting Merino's back-heeled pass in the back of the net before the half-hour mark.

To make matters worse for the hosts, Davis saw a straight red card four minutes after the Brazilian's goal. The defender was sent off for stomping Saka's heel in a reckless challenge from behind.
