Merino's sensational assist

Merino's assist.

In the 28th minute of the match between Ipswich and Arsenal, Bukayo Saka broke through on the right wing and crossed the ball inside. Mikel Merino did not finish but skillfully backheeled the ball for Gabriel Martinelli to comfortably tap the ball from close range, scoring the home team's goal.

The clever move earned the versatile Spanish player much praise on social media. "Merino didn't need to look but still made an accurate pass," one fan exclaimed. "Arsenal's best new signing this season," said a second. A similar fan said: "32 million euros for Merino is a bargain."

This season, Merino has had to play in a different position but has always done his job well. He has scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists in the Premier League this season alone.

Against a team struggling to survive in the relegation race, Arsenal showed their strength by scoring 4 goals. Leandro Trossard shined with a double, the remaining 2 goals were scored by Martinelli and Nwaneri.

3 points at Portman Road helped Arsenal maintain 2nd place in the rankings with 66 points, while creating a 9-point gap compared to the 6th place team. The ticket to the 2025/26 Champions League is difficult to escape the hands of the "Gunners".

Meanwhile, the crushing defeat has left Ipswich's chances of staying in the Premier League virtually nil. The team is 15 points behind safety with only five games left in the season.
