Arsenal have just taken an absolute age over a free-kick that is 20 yards from goal, only for Odegaard to put it straight into the wall! A huge waste
This has been a much brighter five minutes from Ipswich than anything we saw in the first half. Granted, they have nothing to show for it yet, but there is more of a willingness to get on the ball and get forward.
There's an immediate attack from Ipswich, but it fizzles out as Szmodics is forced wide and ultimately loses the ball once in the area
2nd Half
46'
WIth many supporters still taking their seats at the Emirates, we are back underway!
After another sublime performance against Leicester last night, could Mo Salah join Thierry Henry in achieving an incredible Premier League feat?
CAN EITHER TEAM FIND A WINNER?
We're into the final 15 minutes of Brentford's trip to Brighton, and it's still 0-0. Here's the latest.
End of 1st Half
45+2
HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 1-0 IPSWICH
And there goes the whistle. A fairly uneventful half, in truth, but that Havertz goal is enough to separate the two teams. Both managers, in all likelihood, will be reasonably happy with things.
Ipswich have not had a single touch of the ball in the Arsenal box yet
ARSENAL NOT HAVING THINGS ALL THEIR OWN WAY
It's clear that Ipswich have grown into this. Despite being 1-0 down, they have not been blown away and they have not let their heads drop. They would love an equaliser before the break.
IPSWICH BEING A LITTLE MORE ADVERTUROUS
When they are getting a chance to put their foot on the ball, Ipswich have got forward a little more of late. One such break sees Hutchinson go down. He thinks he's been fouled, but the referee gives the free-kick the other way for a hand ball by the forward as he went to ground.
Gabriel Jesus has the ball in the back of the net after quite remarkable finish from a ridiculously tight angle, slotting the ball through the goalkeeper's legs, but he had made his run a little too soon and is flagged offside
Arsenal are being very patient after taking the lead. Ipswich can barely get the ball off them, but their pressing and ability to hold a good shape means they are not surrendering too much in terms of territory
The England midfielder finds himself in space 25 yards out, but his powerful strike flies over the bar

They had been pretty solid up to going behind, but now the onus is on them to chase the game and show a little bit more in the Arsenal half of the field. It will be fascinating to see if Kieran McKenna does change his game plan at all, or just attempts to keep down the score
23'
GOAL! ARSENAL 1-0 IPSWICH (Kai Havertz)
Deadlock broken! Trossard picks up a loose ball on the left hand side of the area and fires it back into the six yard box, from where Kai Havertz converts with a first-time volley. 1-0!
A first save of the night for Ipswich goalkeeper Arijanet Muric, who gets behind Jurrien Timber's powerful strike, although in truth, the 25-yard effort was straight at hime
ARSENAL ICON IN THE HOUSE
Santi Cazorla is at the Emirates. From what we've seen so far, they could do with some of his wizardry to open up a belligerent Ipswich defence who are being well-disciplined
