Arsenal cruised to a commanding 4-0 victory over 10-man Ipswich Town on Sunday, delaying Liverpool's Premier League title celebrations.
Mikel Arteta's side claimed their first win in three league games thanks to Leandro Trossard's double and goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri at Portman Road.
The Gunners dominated from the outset, with Ipswich playing more than half the match with 10 men after Leif Davis was sent off.
The Gunners took the lead with an immaculately crafted move in the 14th minute.

Martin Odegaard injected urgency into the attack with a burst from midfield, passing to Saka on the right flank.
The England winger's low cross found Trossard, who prodded a low finish into the far corner from 10 yards despite losing his footing as he took the shot.
Arsenal monopolised 89 percent of the early possession, preying on Ipswich's weaknesses.
Arsenal didn't have to wait long for a second goal as Martinelli struck in the 28th minute.
Saka was the catalyst with a typically incisive surge past Jacob Greaves before his pass was deftly back-heeled by Mikel Merino into Martinelli's path.
The Brazilian drilled emphatically past Alex Palmer to double the lead.

Ipswich's afternoon went from bad to worse in the 32nd minute when Davis was dismissed for a crude lunge on Saka that left the winger writhing in pain.
With Arsenal in total control, Arteta replaced Saka in the second half to keep him fresh for bigger challenges ahead.
Trossard grabbed his second goal in the 69th minute after Declan Rice found him in the area, allowing the Belgian to shift into space before guiding a clinical finish into the far corner.

Nwaneri capped Arsenal's commanding performance in the 88th minute, punishing Ipswich's woeful marking with a deflected shot past Palmer.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta expressed satisfaction with his team's performance in his post-match comments to Sky Sports.
"Really happy with that performance, especially the way we started the game with 11 v 11," said Arteta.
"The first 35 minutes were exceptional. We scored two and could have scored three or four."

The Gunners manager also praised Declan Rice, stating: "He can play in the three positions in midfield. I am not thinking about anything else and he was exceptional."
Second-placed Arsenal are now 10 points behind leaders Liverpool, who need six points from their remaining six games to be crowned English champions for a record-equalling 20th time.
Liverpool could have won the title at Leicester on Sunday if Arsenal had lost to Ipswich.
The Gunners effectively gifted the title to Liverpool with a dismal run of two wins from their previous seven league games before arriving at Portman Road.
