? Momentum and Goals: Trossard Time & Martinelli Magic

From the xG timeline, it was clear who showed up to play. Arsenal started stacking xG early, with Trossard opening the scoring in the 14th minute (xG 0.33), followed by Martinelli (28’, xG 0.70) who buried a high-value chance to double the lead.

Trossard struck again in the 69th minute before Ethan Nwaneri rounded it off in the 87th. Ipswich never really got into gear and failed to register a single shot on target.

? Shot Map: Arsenal Sharp, Ipswich Absent

Arsenal’s shot map features 23 attempts with 4 goals scored—clinical in front of goal and piling on the pressure from inside the box.

Arsenal generated chances all over the box, especially centrally—where three of their four goals came from. Ipswich couldn’t break into the danger areas, let alone find the net.

Ipswich’s shot map was more of a dot-to-dot puzzle than an attacking threat—4 shots, none on target.

? Possession Tactics: Arsenal Crisp, Ipswich Stranded

Arsenal’s pass map shows an elite level of fluidity and control. The midfield triangle of Rice, Ødegaard, and Merino was tight, progressive, and heavily involved. Zinchenko inverted beautifully to connect with Martinelli and Jorginho, creating a flexible attacking shape.

Ipswich, meanwhile, were pinned deep. Their pass map shows disconnection between lines and little progression into the final third. Only 6 touches in the opposition box and 28 entries into Arsenal’s half paint the full picture.

Arsenal are rolling into the final stretch with confidence and firepower, while Ipswich were left chasing shadows for 90 minutes. One-way traffic in Suffolk.
