Nigerian teenager Ethan Nwaneri capped off another standout performance as Arsenal crush Ipswich 4-0 at Portman Road on Saturday, edging the hosts closer to Premier League relegation.

The 18-year-old midfielder sealed the emphatic victory in the final minutes, bringing his league tally to four goals and 11 overall goal contributions—nine goals and two assists—in a breakout campaign, Footballrover reports.

The Gunners’ dominant display marked their fifth straight clean-sheet win over Ipswich and extended their unbeaten away run to seven matches.

Arsenal crush Ipswich to keep pressure on top

Mikel Arteta’s side wasted no time imposing themselves. Leandro Trossard opened the scoring inside 15 minutes, slotting home after Ødegaard’s miscontrol from Bukayo Saka’s cutback.

Soon after, Saka turned provider again, setting up Mikel Merino, whose clever backheel found Gabriel Martinelli to net his 50th Arsenal goal.

Ipswich’s already tough task turned dire when Leif Davis saw red for a reckless challenge on Saka.

Arsenal took full control, and after the break, Trossard added his second with a cool finish from a quickly taken corner.

Ethan Nwaneri caps dominant win in style

Though the win was sealed early, Ethan Nwaneri added a final flourish. The youngster’s deflected effort beat Alex Palmer, reinforcing Arsenal’s superiority and keeping slim title hopes alive despite being mathematically behind.

Ipswich, now on a seven-game home losing streak, face the drop with their Premier League status hanging by a thread.

In contrast, Arsenal continue their charge, racking up their 11th straight league win against bottom-three sides.

With rising stars like Ethan Nwaneri stepping up and experienced heads delivering, the Gunners look set to finish the season strong—even if the title slips away.
