Arsenal advanced to the next round of the Carabao Cup with a 4-2 victory over Ipswich Town at the Ipswich Town Stadium. Max Dowman, a 16-year-old making his season debut, scored twice, including a brilliant solo goal in the seventh minute. Joined by center-back Marli Salmon, the young Arsenal players played crucial roles in the team's win.
Noni Madueke and Mikel Merino also found the back of the net, with the latter scoring a fourth goal off the inside of the post. Ipswich Town managed to score twice, with Anis Mehmeti and Chuba Akpom providing the goals. Despite the efforts of the visitors, Arsenal's superior performance and scoring power proved decisive, securing their progression to the next stage.
Both teams fielded heavily rotated starting line-ups, with a total of 19 changes from their respective Premier League matches the previous weekend. Arsenal, who have remained unbeaten throughout the season, will find out their fourth-round opponents on Wednesday, following Manchester United's clash against Brighton (kick-off at 20:00 BST).
