Kai Havertz’s goal helps Arsenal secure hard-fought win over Ipswich

Arsenal secured a vital 1-0 victory against Ipswich Town in the Premier League, with Kai Havertz scoring the only goal in the 23rd minute.

This win brings Arsenal within six points of league leaders Liverpool. On the fifth anniversary of Mikel Arteta's first match as manager, Arsenal dominated the first half, with Ipswich failing to register a shot on target.

Ipswich improved after the break but couldn’t break down Arsenal’s defense. Gabriel Magalhães nearly doubled the lead, but his header missed.

The win moves Arsenal up to second place, ahead of Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, keeping them in the title race as they close in on Liverpool.
