Advantage Ipswich as Gunners fail to fire

THE ONLY consolation for Arsene Wenger after this humiliating defeat was that the blow was not delivered by Roy Keane, Arsenal’s old adversary from the Irishman’s days at Manchester United.

Instead, the Ipswich team that Keane built delivered a superb performance to beat Arsenal, deservedly claiming victory thanks to Tamas Priskin’s cleverly taken goal late in the second-half.

The Tractor Boys, who sacked Keane last week, have given themselves a wonderful chance of reaching the Carling Cup Final, and if Arsenal’s trophy drought is extended by another year then Wenger should question himself and many of the players he has at his disposal.
