Arne Slot‘s team, Liverpool scored a slew of goals in the first half at Anfield, cruising to their second straight league victory.
Ibrahima Konate assisted Dominik Szoboszlai in the 11th minute, and the goal fizzed past Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton.
With a powerful strike in the 35th minute, Mohamed Salah extended Liverpool’s lead and scored his 23rd goal this season across all competitions.
Additionally, it was the forward from Egypt’s 100th Premier League goal at Anfield.
In the 44th minute, Walton parried Szoboszlai’s effort, and Gakpo bundled home to end Ipswich before halftime.
When Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross went past Walton in the 66th minute, the Dutch striker scored once more.
Ipswich, currently in third place in the league, gave in 10 goals in their last two games, so their diving header in stoppage time from Jacob Greaves offered little comfort.
Liverpool have won 16 of their 22 league games this season, putting them on track to win the English championship for the first time since 2020.
Arsenal, who finished in second position, has a game remaining to play before the quadruple-chasing Reds keep up the pressure on the leaders.
When Lewis-Skelly tripped Matt Doherty to halt a Wolves counterattack in the 43rd minute, Arsenal, without captain Martin Odegaard due to illness, was controversially sent off.
Arsenal was incensed at the unscrupulous challenge, arguing that the tackle was too far from the goal to merit a red card.
On social media, the Premier League Match Centre verified that the 18-year-old defender was dismissed for “serious foul play.”
But when Joao Gomes received a second caution for fouling Jurrien Timber in the 70th minute, Wolves were also reduced to 10 men.
Additionally, in the 74th minute, Riccardo Calafiori, an Italian defender, won it for Arsenal with a half-volley that struck the far post.
In their 5-0 thumping at the Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth extended their club-record undefeated run and dented Nottingham Forest’s push for a spot in the top four thanks to a hat-trick from Dango Ouattara.
Third-place Forest’s remarkable run of eight top-flight games without a loss was ended, and Andoni Iraola’s team is now in sixth position and unbeaten in their previous 11 league games.
In the ninth minute, Justin Kluivert scored his sixth goal in his past four games for Bournemouth.
In the 55th minute, Ouattara nodded in from Kluivert’s cross to extend Bournemouth’s lead.
Three minutes before the end, the Burkina Faso winger completed an incredible trifecta by scoring his second goal six minutes later.
In the closing minutes, Antoine Semenyo scored to give Bournemouth their largest victory of the season, capping after last weekend’s incredible 4-1 victory at Newcastle.
Newcastle defeated bottom-place Southampton 3-1, led by Alexander Isak, to climb into fourth place.
In the tenth minute, Jan Bednarek gave Southampton the lead with a strong header from James Bree’s cross.
However, Joe Aribo fouled the prolific striker in the 26th minute, and Isak equalised from the penalty spot.
After completing a flowing play by converting a feed from Jacob Murphy in the 30th minute, Isak made it 11 goals in his previous eight games and 19 goals for the season.
In the 51st minute, Sandro Tonali scored Newcastle’s third goal after Anthony Gordon’s pass sent him racing clear.
David Moyes, the manager of Everton, celebrates winning 1-0 at Brighton to become the third manager to achieve 700 Premier League games.
Moyes’ squad won for the second time in a row, moving them seven points clear of the relegation zone. Only Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and Alex Ferguson at Manchester United have managed more Premier League games than Moyes.
Joel Veltman, a defender for Brighton, gave up a penalty in the 42nd minute, which Iliman Ndiaye scored.
In Saturday’s final match, troubled champions Manchester City will play Chelsea, one of their top four challengers. Pep Guardiola’s team is hoping for a victory that would move them up to fourth position.
