We saw Arsenal win against Ipswich. But I expected a more organized gameplay from Arsenal. Because Ipswich Town is a weak team. Ipswich Town is in the relegation zone. At the same time, Ipswich Town's defense is very weak. In such a situation, we would naturally expect Arsenal to win their home match by a large margin. But Arsenal won this match by a small margin of 1-0.
Arsenal also won the last match against Crystal Palace by a large margin of 5-0. But Arsenal could not score more than one goal against Ipswich. Ipswich players played defensively. Arsenal players did not try to attack much either.
However, Arsenal needed 3 points to occupy the second place in the points table. And they managed to achieve it. The top spot of the table is now occupied by Liverpool and Arsenal is in second place.
The goal margin shouldn't be the problem because Arsenal achieved three points. Sometimes, when playing with these weak clubs, they would defend with their lives as if they would be able to stop their opponents from winning the match. It's good to see Arsenal on the second position with one point ahead of Chelsea and six points behind Liverpool. This shows that Arsenal can still be rivals to Liverpool on the title race.
Although Arsenal managed to get three full points in this match through a single goal from K. Havertz, but with quite tight competition, the team must not only excel in terms of points, but also goal difference. And when facing Ipswich, Arsenal should have scored more goals in this match.
Only one goal, even though if you look back at the match, Arsenal had quite a lot of opportunities to increase their advantage, but fortunately Ipswich were unable to score a single goal in this match, they only got a few opportunities, and were unable to maximize them.
And for the next new year, it might be quite difficult for Arsenal to win consistently, because Arsenal will face quite tough teams, such as Brentford, Brighton, Spurs, and Aston Villa.
