IPSWICH:
Arsenal cantered to a 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town to end Liverpool’s hopes of winning the Premier League title today, with Leandro Trossard scoring twice and the hosts’ Leif Davis sent off for a dangerous tackle on Bukayo Saka.

The Gunners moved on to 66 points in second spot but Liverpool, who face relegation-threatened Leicester City later, still only need to win two of their remaining games to secure the crown.

After dominating the opening exchanges, Arsenal took the lead through Trossard in the 14th minute and Gabriel Martinelli doubled the advantage with a simple finish in the 28th minute before Davis was shown a straight red card for raking his studs down the back of Saka’s leg.

Trossard grabbed his second in the 69th minute and Ethan Nwaneri added a late fourth to leave Ipswich stuck in 18th place on 21 points.

They will be relegated if they drop points again or 17th-placed West Ham United pick up one more point from their remaining five games.
