Arsenal edged past Ipswich Town 1-0, with Kai Havertz's goal propelling them into second place in the Premier League.

Arsenal climbed back into second place in the Premier League with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over a resilient Ipswich Town side at the Emirates Stadium on Friday night.

Mikel Arteta's side dominated possession throughout the match, but struggled to break down a well-organized Ipswich defense. The breakthrough finally came in the 23rd minute when Kai Havertz volleyed home from close range, giving Arsenal a slender lead.

Despite creating numerous chances, Arsenal failed to extend their advantage. Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard both came close in the second half, while substitute Mikel Merino also had a late opportunity to seal the deal.

However, Ipswich, despite their valiant efforts, were unable to register a single shot on target and ultimately succumbed to Arsenal's pressure. The victory extends Arsenal's unbeaten run to 11 games and keeps them within striking distance of league leaders Liverpool, who now hold a six-point advantage.
