Arsenal fans say they’ve unearthed an ‘absolutely phenomenal’ talent in win over Ipswich

Arsenal have gone second in the Premier League table after running out 1-0 winners over Ipswich Town in Friday’s match at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners broke Ipswich’s resistance in the 23rd minute when Leandro Trossard reached the byline and put a ball in for Kai Havertz to sweep home.

Arsenal dominated proceedings against Ipswich, boasting close to 70 percent of possession and weighing in with 13 efforts and over 650 passes.

However, only one goal separated the two sides, with the Gunners looking less dangerous without the injured Bukayo Saka and Ipswich defending well.

One of the most positive points for Arsenal in the game was how well Myles Lewis-Skelly did as fans sung his praises on social media.

How the media rated Lewis-Skelly display for Arsenal v Ipswich

‘That said, was guilty of a silly clearance in the second half and almost saw tempers flare in a coming together with Kalvin Phillips.’

Meanwhile, GiveMeSport gave Lewis-Skelly a rating of 8 out of 10 for how he did against Kieran McKenna’s side.

They wrote: ‘Another start for the promising youngster at full-back as he looks to relive Bukayo Saka’s early development in the Gunners first team.
