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 moved up to second in the Premier League and within six points of Liverpool after a largely trouble-free, if slightly pedestrian, 1-0 win at home to struggling Ipswich Town on a chilly night in North London on Friday.

Of all the Arsenal matches, that was certainly one of them. The Gunners won 1-0 over Ipswich Town to move into second place in the Premier League. It wasn’t a pretty match but Arsenal were deserving winners. They created enough to score one or two more goals, and the visitors didn’t manage a shot on target (1.8 xG to 0.1 xG).
