Arsenal moved up to second place in the Premier League with a 1-0 home win against Ipswich. Mikel Arteta's side is six points behind leader Liverpool, which has a game in hand. Second-bottom Ipswich had won two of its last three away games but was up against it from the start at the Emirates. The visitors did not have one touch in the Gunners' box during the first 45 minutes on Friday and, although Ipswich showed signs of life after the break, it was Arsenal which continued to dominate the game, marshaled by Declan Rice in midfield.

Kai Havertz got the only goal midway through the first half when he knocked in a cross from Leandro Trossard. Havertz, Rice, Mikel Merino, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus all had chances but none of them could add to Arsenal's tally. "It's so tough, every team is tough to break down," Havertz said. "They fight for each other and at the end we're very proud for the win." Arsenal is a point above third-place Chelsea and two points clear of season surprise team Nottingham Forest in fourth.
