Events

Match Events

  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kieran McKenna might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. Arsenal FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 20' With 2 assists to his name this season, Kai Havertz is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Arsenal FC.

  • 59' Harry Clarke is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Arsenal FC so far.
  • 64' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 86' Another substitution for Arsenal FC to replace Declan Rice by Thomas Partey on 86 minute.
  • 90' Fresh legs for Ipswich Town FC! Harry Clarke comes on to replace Luke Woolfenden.
