So that's all from me, make sure you stick around on Tribe for coverage of all your favourite sports. For now though, I'm Jonny Lawrence and we'll see you next time.
So Arsenal have a couple of days between them and their next game, as they head off to Brentford. For Ipswich, there's less time for them to recover as they head home to host Chelsea in a little under 72 hours.
Ipswich came with a plan and for the most part it seemed to work well, with the back five set up crowding the space in the corners where Arsenal like to cross from. Odegaard built into the game a little though and once he became more direct, the defenders suddenly had to shift narrower. Still, Arsenal will be looking to score more than just a single goal next time they have more than two thirds of the possession in a home game.
So job done for Arsenal, and the three points takes them back up to second on the ladder. By no means the most flowing of performances and the Gunners will have plenty to work on still, but three points to finish the year will be all Arteta cares about.
The ref calls time and Kai Havertz goal in the first half is enough the get the Gunners over the line.
90+4'
PENALTY APPEAL! Broadhead is the man who gets the last chance, working it to his left foot for a yard to have a shot from the edge of the box. Havertz is in the road and it pings out off his arm, but it's clearly tucked into his side and both the ref and VAR are happy it's not a penalty. Lewis-Skelly wins a free kick in the aftermath.
90+4'
Ipswich knock it to Al-Hamadi, but he cops a foot in from Saliba from behind him. The ref says no free kick and Martinelli runs off upfield.
90+2'
Ipswich finally get a toe on it and send it long upfield, but Raya is high and does some game management, dragging it 15 yards back into his own box to pick it up.
90+1'
Martinelli turns up the right touchline and wins a throw. Ipswich make another interesting defensive change in the meantime, with Woolfenden coming off for Clarke.
