Fans took to X to call out Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard for their performances in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Friday, December 27. The duo failed to meet the fans' expectations and consequently got sticks for it.
As expected, Arsenal entered the match as top dogs, as they were keen to capitalize on Chelsea’s slip-up against Fulham on Thursday. Mikel Arteta’s men started mounting the pressure from the first kick of the game, and their efforts paid dividends in the 23rd minute. Kai Havertz put the Gunners ahead, turning home Leandro Trossard’s inviting delivery.
Arsenal’s defense proved too strong for Ipswich Town as the visitors didn’t register a shot on goal for the entirety of the game. The hosts had the opportunity to double their lead in the second half but couldn’t as they spurned glorious opportunities. They eased through the closing stages to secure three points and move to the second position in the Premier League table.
