Arsenal 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match Report
Friday, 27th Dec 2024 22:16

Kai Havertz’s first-half goal was enough to see Arsenal to a 1-0 victory over the Blues at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners utterly dominated the first half but with Town limiting their chances, while Town had more opportunities to counter-attack in the second period but without ever seriously threatening to get back on terms.

Town boss Kieran McKenna made five changes with Luke Woolfenden, Ben Johnson, Jacob Greaves, Kalvin Phillips and Liam Delap coming into the team.

The Blues switched to the system that saw them to a 2-1 win at Spurs on their last visit to North London with a back three of Dara O’Shea, who skippers the club for the first time, on the right with Woolfenden in the centre and Greaves on the left.

Ben Johnson and Leif Davis were the wing-backs with Phillips joining Jens Cajuste in the centre of midfield with captain Sam Morsy suspended.

Omari Hutchinson, a former Gunners academy player, and Sammie Szmodics were the number 10s behind lone striker Delap, back after his one-match ban.

Harry Clarke, another one-time youth player with the North Londoners, Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin dropped to the bench and Cameron Burgess was out of the 20-man squad but having travelled.

For Arsenal, Declan Rice came back into the team for Thomas Partey, while Leandro Trossard replaced Bukayo Saka, who suffered a hamstring injury in the 5-1 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Town almost got the game off to a shock start in the opening 25 seconds, a Davis cross from the left clipping Jurrien Timber and Szmodics behind him only just failed to connect at the near post.

But after that, the early stages were all Arsenal, passing the ball around, prodding and probing and looking for an opening, but without threatening keeper Aro Muric, aside from a seventh-minute corner which the Kosovan punched to the edge of the area where Gunners’ skipper Martin Odegaard mishit his shot.

On 14, Trossard worked himself some room on the left edge of the box but saw his effort deflect behind with Town defending another corner against the division’s set-play experts.

The Blues continued to frustrate the Gunners, who at this stage had had 89 per cent of the possession, but in the 19th minute Timber brought the ball forward from deep before hitting a shot straight at Muric, who claimed.

Town were defending resolutely, despite the game being played almost entirely in their final third, but in the 23rd minute the Gunners finally created a serious opening and went ahead.

Trossard got round the outside of Johnson on the left of the box and sent over a cross from the byline which Woolfenden and Greaves both failed to connect with and Havertz volleyed into the net from a couple of feet in front of the line, the German international’s 12th goal of the season.

Arsenal went looking for their second, maintaining their dominance on the ball before Rice shot not too far over from 25 yards.


Town launched a rare attack in the 32nd minute, Hutchinson breaking away in the Gunners’ half before feeding Johnson on the right but the former West Ham man’s cross deflected into the arms of home keeper David Raya.

Arsenal had the ball in the net for a second time in the 35th minute when Gabriel Jesus was played in on goal by Trossard and forced the ball past Muric from a very tight angle, Gabriel Martinelli adding a final touch with it already over the line. The assistant’s flag was immediately raised and VAR upheld the decision.

That was the last chance of the first half with the Gunners continuing to dominate until the break.

The first period had been all Arsenal, the half-time possession stat of 84.3 per cent in their favour illustrating their superiority on the ball.

Town had defended resiliently with the goal the only out-and-out chance the home side had created.

However, aside from Davis’s early cross and Johnson’s later ball into the box, the Blues had presented no threat at all going forward having been unable hold possession for more than a few passes at any stage.

Town were first to attack following the restart, Szmodics taking the ball into the box on the left before being dispossessed.

But the Gunners soon began to threaten again, Odegaard driving through the middle before hitting a shot which Greaves blocked. On 49, a Trossard effort from the left of the area was similarly stopped by Johnson.

Two minutes later, Hutchinson tried to trick his way past Myles Lewis-Skelly on the right of the box and went to ground. However, referee Darren England gave a free-kick against the Town forward and there didn’t appear to have been enough in the challenge to warrant a penalty.

On 52, Phillips tactically fouled Rice just outside the Town box with Odegaard eventually slamming the free-kick into the wall. As Hutchinson broke, the forward, was was booed by his old fans for his move to Chelsea as a youngster, was hauled back by Havertz, who was shown the game’s first yellow card.

As the game approached the hour mark, the Blues started to keep the ball in the Arsenal half for the first time, Hutchinson and Davis sending over crosses from each flank but without finding a teammate in the middle with Delap crowded out.

In the 59th minute, Phillips whipped a dangerous free-kick into the area from deep on the right, which was nodded behind for Town’s first corner of the evening. However, Davis struck the first defender with his flag-kick.

Arsenal quickly went back on the offensive and in the 63rd minute Havertz was played in on the left and Woolfenden did well to divert out for a corner.

From the resultant corner, Gabriel Magalhaes should have scored. The Brazilian international, the highest scorer from set pieces in Europe’s top leagues, got away from Delap at the far post but nodded into the ground and wide when it seemed easier to score.

Moments later, Davis became the first Town player to get his name taken, for a foul on Odegaard, who was OK to continue after requiring treatment.

The Blues saw more of the ball in the second half and had been able to break through Hutchinson in particular on a number of occasions, but too often the attack broke down due to a poor decision or pass.

Town made their first change of the evening in the 72nd minute, Jack Clarke, a former Tottenham player, replacing Szmodics, who had put in his usual busy shift on the left but may have been rueing not getting his toe to the Blues’ early chance. Arsenal switched Jesus for Mikel Merino.

A minute later, Odegaard brought the ball forward into the area, twisted and turned and then hit a shot which Muric did well to palm over.

Following the corner, Rice smashed a goal-bound shot which O’Shea blocked for another flag-kick with the Blues again under pressure.

In the 75th minute, the Gunners went close again, Trossard nodding a cross from the right down to Havertz, who was forced off the ball by Greaves and Muric was able to bundle it behind from inside his six-yard area.

Muric was busy again two minutes later, the Blues’ keeper getting across to his right to push Merino’s shot away from goal.

Town made a triple change in the 80th minute, replacing Cajuste, Johnson and Delap for Jack Taylor, Nathan Broadhead and Ali Al-Hamadi. Seven minutes later, Arsenal swapped Rice for Partey.

Two minutes from the end, the Blues failed to make the most of a promising situation, Taylor sweeping wide to Davis when he might have shot and the left-back losing out to Timber.

In the final minute, with Town having shown more threat since the substitutions with Broadhead again having been a positive influence, Hutchinson looped a cross into Raya’s arms.

Seconds into four minutes of time added on, Harry Clarke replaced Woolfenden to polite applause from the fans of the club where he spent eight years.

In the dying seconds, Town were pushing for an equaliser, Broadhead working space just inside the area on the right before hitting a shot which Havertz blocked.

The whistle went soon afterwards to confirm a Gunners victory, the home side having been very dominant for long spells but with the Blues defending resolutely and preventing them from creating many clear-cut chances with the goal their only real first-half opportunity.

The home side had further chances in the second period, Gabriel missing the best of them and Muric making a couple of decent saves.

Town, who had presented no attacking threat in the first period, had opportunities to break in the second but too often poor passes or decisions saw promising situations break down and ultimately Raya was never really tested to any degree.

After the 4-0 loss at home to Newcastle on Saturday, it was important that the Blues weren’t on the end of another heavy defeat and there’s little disgrace in losing 1-0 at Arsenal and there were positives to take from the performance, not least limiting Arsenal to few big chances, while the Phillips-Cajuste central midfield partnership showed promise.

The Blues, who remain 19th in the division, three points from safety following Wolves’ 2-0 victory over Manchester United yesterday, have another tough game up next, at home to Chelsea on Monday.

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Rice (Partey 87), Havertz, Odegaard (c), Martinelli, Trossard, Jesus (Merino 72). Unused: Neto, Zinchenko, Tierney, Kiwior, Calafiori, Jorginho, Nwaneri.

We are all happy we came away with just a one goal defeat and not a landslide. But we were never competitive, the first half was simply Attack Vs Defence, we showed more in the second but never looked like taking anything from the game.
Should we castigate people on here who say we haven't had the time to build a team to defeat the big guns, like Arsenal. Isn't that as bad as calling out individual players, because it says the whole group aren't good enough?
The bottom line is our recruitment has been poor, we have bought Championship players to do something in the Prem. Did someone believe McKenna could turn these guys into Prem players in the space of a few months? Even Delap looked out of his depth last night, running around barging into defenders isn't enough and he looks tired, not surprisingly. Remember how protracted the negotiations for Szmodics were, well he does not look comfortable in this League, so why were we so desperate to get him? And the goalkeeper, well McKenna won't drop him anytime soon, he made a couple of saves last night and caught some crosses but that's what they are asked to do. What they aren't expected to do is kick the ball into touch 3 times, twice from a goal kick and once from open play. He has a habit of doing this. They took pressure off him by not playing out from the back as much last night. It doesn't change the fact he isn't good enough.
There's a feeling that some on here believe the players read all this stuff we write and it affects their performances - I don't think so. A Premier League (or Championship) players' lifestyle does not extend to trawling through the comments on TWTD.
I've had enough of the 'small margins', 'take the positives' arguments - we just keep losing. Let's not get deluded, the only measure of success is points on the board.

First half was just like an attack v defence training exercise. We held firm in the main and a 5 man defence is definitely the way forward in this league. More concerning is the lack of belief at the other end of the pitch. What's happened to our attacking flair? , we we look afraid of shooting, or even crossing the ball.

Can see what kieran McKenna was trying to do,but think we gave arsenal too much respect. The best form of defence is attack.and in the first half we was so deep,and in hindsight, if we played in the first half,like the second half,we might have got something from the game.cajuste is getting so good,going to be my man of the season ,so far.omari I noticed,wouldn't take on arsenals defence,twice he could have gone down the line to cross,instead tried to get one of his left foot shots on goal,but there defence was so quick,never had a chance.hope we are more attacking against Chelsea,and with them losing last game,we could find a few chinks in their armour, up the town!

The best of defence is attack is the most stupid thing ive ever heard a Sunday morning league saying. It great sides are built around good defence's and if we go all out attack against Chelsea they will do what Newcastle did against us.

My gosh so much negativity on here once again but now your blaming Hutch, Szmodicks and Delap it's just hilarious, a 1-0 to Arsenal away from home is a real positive, and it gave our defence a real work out, that formation is great and the players in it.

We will take alot from that game, we are still in our mini league only Southampton drifted, let's get these big boys out of the way now, get some experience in attack on loan to help Delap, Almiron be good, let Walon go so we don't have to read Walton We Want Walton, no we don't! Muric made some great saves and was much better, leave the guy be!

17th is all we can aim for realistically and it could easily come down to goal difference so a 1-0 at Arsenal could be worth staying up at end of season, I'd take a 1-0 Chelsea also for that reason.

If we start going gung ho attack on top 4 teams they will hit us on the break they have world superstars, we were playing Oxford 2 years ago.

Be realistic and look at the long game and maybe if we started supporting our new signings we would get more out of them, keep asking for league 1 players to start is a joke.

Cajuste and Phillips were excellent. Same formation on Sat but I'd start Clarke maybe instead of Szmodicks and break with pace of Hutchinson and Delap with him.

I dont know why Delap can't do 90 mins but I'd rather Szmodicks come on as sub than Hamadi he is like a competition winner!

Said my bit, remember be realistic and think of the long game, 1-0 is a loss today but come last day season it could be very much a win if we stay up on goal difference so I say we'll done lads, same again!

Ipswich one to attack Arsenal at the Emirate’s would’ve been suicidal and we would’ve been thrashed. They are a much better team than us and tactically McKenna got it right.

1-0 or thrashing, it's still NO points and goal difference will be irrelevant to our position at the end of the season.

Yes we lost but in the grand scheme of things when you think that Arsenal thrashed the arse off Crystal Palace 5-1 that’s got to be classed a good result, away from home which has seen our best results points wise come from. Muric looked more composed and had a better game, only my opinion but I think he could have gone for and claimed the cross. Even so both Woolfenden and Greaves were mere inches away of connecting with the ball and possibly diverting it away from goal.
Did McKenna see that this game as a definite defeat hence the changes and resting players for Chelsea game. Poor Delap had a fruitless night as the lone striker without a lot of support to help him. We made a rod for our own back first half playing so deep and invited them to crack us open putting us under so much pressure.
Much better second half when we approached the game differently.
Some of the players coming in may just have put something in to deserve a longer run in the team.

budgieplucker added 13:49 - Dec 28

I think we need to be objective, 17th is and in my mind was always our target. In theory we have the weakest squad in the premiership and that’s no disrespect to the work that was done in the summer to bring in the players that we did.

Our high energy and pressing generally dissipates around 65-70 minutes, hence Kieron’s tactics of regularly bringing in 2-3 fresh pair of legs at that point in most matches over the last couple of seasons. This has worked well and given us strong finishes.

Despite the number of goals we scored over the last two seasons and the incredible number of chances we created, we missed loads of chances as well. The Priemership is different, you can’t afford to miss chances and you will get punished for your mistakes.

Our momentum from the last two seasons has largely been squashed and I never ever thought we would be nestled in mid table comfortably before the end of the season.

The maths still give us a good chance of survival, but we will probably need to take at least 20 points from the second half of the season to survive. Unfortunately teams like Everton keep picking up points at difficult venues. It’s difficult to see three teams that we are better equipped than at the moment. Wolves have had a new manager bounce , and have players like Cunha (why the FA haven’t suspended him yet is again a kick in the teeth for us as he regularly finds the back of the net).

We do need to strengthen up front with a physical striker, no George Hirst is not the answer, history shows if he is fit by the end of January he will be out injured again well before the end of the season. As much as I like Broadhead, he too has a very poor injury record.

Right back is the other position that worries me, again I like Tuanzebe, but again fitness wise he is a very fragile player. Clarke and Johnson are just not up to it for me. Without wanting to be critical of last nights tremendous effort at the Emirates, Johnson should have prevented the cross for the goal, granted Woolfie missed the clearance and Leif Davis was ball watching again on the back post allowing Havertz to get between 3 town defenders in close proximity. Having said that I thought Woolfie anchored the defence in that sweeper role well and shows promise in bursting forward. Johnson was terrorised by Semenyo in the Bournemouth match and kept losing him as a marker time and again. So we have to do better in that position and/or the right wingback position in the second half of the season.

Leif needs to be playing an out and out wingback, hence the success I believe of the O’Shea, Woolfenden and Greaves combination last night. I don’t see why we cannot adapt to a 3-5-2, getting Morsy, Phillips and Cajuste all in the starting 11, with Taylor getting plenty of minutes from the wings or the occasional full game in rotation.

For me Chaplin despite a couple of decent games before the Newcastle match does not get into my first 11.

Let’s try and get our best 11 players on the pitch and adapt the style to the strengths of the players. Playing style and fluency may have to suffer a bit. For those old enough, Jimmy Robertson and Frank Clarke we signed by Sir Bob in our first season in the old Division 1 and it was mainly their efforts that allowed us to survive and go on and have all those great memories.

January though is going to be difficult with only one domestic loan position available, I don’t think we are going to be able to afford to buy the quality we need in our current position. But certainly an injection of 3 loan players who are a clear upgrade on what we have would be a major confidence booster towards giving some optimism that we might just be able to edge up a couple of places before May.

Yes we have been very competitive in many games, but that has been difficult to maintain for 90 minutes and the fine margins keep going against us, I don’t think we can always blame VAR calls for our plight, we have to make more of our own luck and turn those fine margins around with greater concentration, better decision making and more clinical execution.

We should though all remain proud of the team because it is enormously difficult competing at this level, Kieron will need to exercise a lot more tactical nous to grind out the points and we must all take pride in the way we have stuck with the lads and keep it going right to the end of the season. It’s not about believing but understanding the enormous challenge a club like ours face. Whatever, the outcome this will have been a great and transforming season for our club which will make us stronger for future campaigns.

However it is dressed up the Arsenal match was a failure as no points were claimed.Sad to say I do not think that our players are good enough.It may be that the pressure is taking its toll. the extra chasing shadows with subsequent demorolisation and loss of confidence we cannot keep bumbling on like this and by the way can someone teach a professional GK just how to kick the ball.Sadly it appears that we are now past the last chance saloon.Our only hope is to get some key players back from injury , have a shake up and get rid of some of our diminutive team members and try and buy a few young strong athletic good specimen Premier League players during the window.

…….Tedray you’re right ! - but how do we attract those type of players to a Club that is (almost certain) destined for relegation, and the Championship again next season ??
We missed the last Sailing to do that Pre-Season - unfortunately, we stalled somewhat then !!

Eeyore added 14:42 - Dec 28
TimmyH summed it up perfectly. I think Chaplin will return and Omari might need to come off the bench as he was well below the high standard he has set. There is not much to choose between Harry and Johnson. Both will need to improve to stay in a Prem squad; I am not saying they won’t. The defensive formation and display was very effective. McKenna now knows we can stop anybody scoring if we want to. Will he employ this more? I think he will and I think he and Ashton will have discussed this at length. He will have to get more out of the front players who defended well but were ‘rabbits caught in headlights’ with the ball at their feet. It was great to watch that match knowing we were not going to get thrashed and we had a small but not insignificant chance of stealing a point.

A bit concerned about the January window, given that we have the max loans already. I have no idea how much wriggle room we have money wise, but it will be difficult to get in players who will really improve the squad to a decent PL level, which sadly is not the case with the current SQUAD.

We did(after Newcastle) defend well but seemed to be like rabbits in headlights when we finally crossed the halfway line Delap needs better close support than Sammy why not Chaplin and Broadhead at home to Chelsea where we have to go at them from the first whistle and start getting points on the board before games start running out. C.O.Y.B.

DannyITFC added 17:31 - Dec 28
So let’s first look at the positives - we looked so much more solid at the back which gives any team a solid base to work from, Phillips looks decent and has to start for me. Broadhead looks sharp who also deserves a starting position.

Negatives- with this type of defensive setup when we get a chance it simply has to be taken, Smozdics will look back at the first chance I feel disappointed he did not make contact to direct that towards the goal. But his chance in the second half why on earth did he not shoot? The keeper was off his line in no man’s land, I gaurentee if it was an Arsenal player in the position in it’s the back of the net making it look easy. The goal is very avoidable, Wolfenden (who had a good game) has to deal with that, secondly Greaves is also caught on his heels, he should be anticipating that to hook it away so it was dreadful defending. Murics blushes where spared for what would have been another howler had the offside not have stood for the disallowed goal. Pop personally I think he has been a huge mistake of a signing, costing us around 6 points and not saving us any (maybe 1 point at Brighton you could argue).

So where do we go from here? Wolves seem to have found some fight unlike us and Liecester/Southampton. Its our home form that is costing us, no wins at home by Xmas is simply unacceptable not matter what league you are in. There have been games we should have won I.e Man Utd, Liecester, Brentford, Bournemouth, Villa where we ended up losing 2 of them and drawing 3 (3 points from 15 we should have had!). Now we are finding ourselves against teams such as Arsenal and Chelsea where it’s not expected we get a single point, even Fulham away is probably another loss.

January transfer window is huge, another no9 (maybe 2 of them to allow Al Hamadi out on loan) and a right back and right winger could make the difference. Either way we must starting winning some games soon, the home form must change for a start. The gap is too big between the championship and EPL sadly, and we had barely enough time to adjust from league one! I think we all know relegation is all but confirmed now, I just hope we can hold onto these players and KM to build a promotion push and confidence next season and not do a Luton.

Sadly I think we will lose Delap, that will be hard to replace imo next season as there might be others gone like Davis, Hutchinson etc because they won’t want to be playing in the Championship.

Leejames99 added 18:22 - Dec 28
How on earth do you think we are going to sell Hutchinson and Delap etc they have hardly lit up the prem really and we're bought for the future or for a big profit, not to just buy for a season, if that's the case we may aswell send liam players back and sell new recruits in Jan and let's start for Chelsea game with -
Walton
Clarke
Burgess
Woolfeden
Davis
Morsy
Taylor
Luongo
Chaplin
Burns
Broadhead
I'm sure many of you would love that team to start, jokers, same team that got beat by Maidstone comfortably, who was in goal that day? Oh yes Walton imagine him facing shots from Cole Palmer!
So disresptful to our keeper on here, I feel so sorry for him, the moaners are obsessed with blaming Muric and now new signings but God forbid say anything about Chaplin or Burns etc they gave us memories yes but move on! Like they should and pkay football at their level.

To say we should of been pressing Arsenal is hilarious also, Mck picked a great line up and I think will stick with that now aside for this game coming up I'd have Burgess for Woolfeden and Clarke for Szmodicks so he can come on for Delap.
Team for Chelsea
Muric
O'Shea Captain
Burgess
Greaves
Johnson
Delap
Phillips
Cajuste
J Clarke
Hutchinson
Delap

Subs
Morsy for Phillips
Szmodiks for Clarke
Broadhead for Hutchibson
Chaplin for Cajuste
Keep Delap on for 90

I doubt he will risk any of Burns, H Clarke, Hamadi as we don't want them injured as we need to sell or l9an them.

How Will goal difference not cone into play? We are in a mini league at bottom and goal difference could very much come into it for 17th or relegation, so 1- 0 away to Arsenal is better than a 4 or 5 rout especially after conceding 4 v Newcastle.

Man City could still be relegated also and Southampton look done so Wolves, Leicester, Everton, West Ham and even Man Utd are all around us.

Hope fans don't give Muric a hard time on Monday it's not ok!

Blueboy- as usual , totally wrong . We are realistic, we knew thus year was going to be massively difficult and knew that we would get stuffed on occasion like last week, but we are also showing great fight and no little skill in most games. We are enjoying this year because it's a huge bonus . It isn't the 1980s and we arent that team. We are very much a work in progress and if we have to go back down to come back stronger so be it. Stop talking in cryptic riddles and capitalising random words . We all see u for what u r.

Some of you have no idea as to how important it is now to the Owners in both the Premiership, and SUCCESS !!
Different ball game now with these Owners, which the likes of YOU obviously (but no surprise) completely overlook or don’t understand.
What happened to the Pre Season Predictors in finishing Top 6 this season ? - all gone very quiet on that front…… !! - in fact not a word, as REALISM takes hold …. !!!

Blue budgie. All of us are realistic about this season and knew survival was going to be difficult including OUR OWNERS ( not yours ) and the proof of that is their continuing investment in the club and it's facilities. SUCCESS is measured in many ways and never comes easily but those of us who are real Town supporters know this AND KNOW THERE IS A LONG TERM PLAN AND WE HAVE EXCEEDED IT ALREADY. We know what REALISM is but you live in a little world of pure idiocy, Sad really!!!!!!

Blueboy stop talking in riddles. You don't know anymore than any of us. None of us predicted top 6 , as I said most of us expected it to be as it is. You know , we were REALISTIC. We got promoted earlier than anyone expected so yes Carberry if we need to go down then I would totally trust this management to bring us back again. Have you noticed that the two clubs that came up with us are also down there . It's very difficult to make the jump , even more so for us as we've done it so quickly. So why not try and get behind the team and enjoy this year .
