Arsenal denied Liverpool the chance to win the Premier League title this weekend as they comfortably beat 10-man Ipswich at Portman Road. In their first match since seeing off Real Madrid to reach the Champions League semi-finals, the Gunners produced another excellent display against an Ipswich side on the verge of relegation. Arsenal dominated from kick-off and took the lead in the 14th minute when Bukayo Saka's cross into the box was helped on by a slight touch from Martin Odegaard and turned into the net by Leandro Trossard. They doubled their lead after more good work by Saka, whose cross into the area was cleverly flicked on by Mikel Merino for Gabriel Martinelli to tap into an empty net. Ipswich's task was then made even harder when Leif Davis was shown a red card in the 32nd minute for a poor tackle on Saka. Trossard added his second of the game in the 69th minute when he finished smartly from inside the area after a well-worked Arsenal short corner. Substitute Ethan Nwaneri scored a fourth for Arsenal with a deflected shot two minutes from time. The Gunners had good chances to score more - one for Merino and two for Saka - and Mikel Arteta would have expected them to be taken. This was Ipswich's seventh home defeat of 2025, which leaves them clinging on to their Premier League status for one more week. This victory delayed Liverpool's inevitable title win but the focus for the Gunners is on their Champions League campaign. Mikel Arteta is going to be without Thomas Partey for the first leg of their semi-final against Paris St-Germain on 29 April, and took the opportunity to trial a midfield that could take to the pitch for that game. Declan Rice, who has been so good in his number eight role in recent weeks, was pushed deeper to anchor the Arsenal midfield, while Merino - who has been playing as a makeshift striker - was used in his natural midfield role. They were joined in the middle by captain Odegaard, who linked up superbly with Saka on the right-hand side of the pitch. The Norway international was involved in both of Arsenal's first-half goals. The only concern for the Gunners at Portman Road was that Saka required strapping to his ankle once he was substituted in the 57th minute, as a result of the tackle that led to Davis' red card, as Arteta looked to protect his key man. Arsenal take on Crystal Palace next but these games feel like a build-up to their season-defining Champions League assignment. Ipswich were never really in this match - and it sums up their struggles that they have now lost 20 of 33 Premier League games this season. Manager Kieran McKenna admitted in his matchday programme notes that his side were unlikely to achieve their aim of staying up. Defeat here rendered their survival mission all but mathematically impossible. Ipswich possess some exciting young players but they did not have enough quality to pose Arsenal any problems and their ability to attack was made more difficult after Davis was sent off. Striker George Hirst was starved of any service but did go close in the second half when he broke away on an Ipswich counter-attack and curled just wide. Liam Delap has been excellent for Ipswich this season, scoring 12 Premier League goals, but the forward was only fit enough to be on the bench after picking up a rib injury in the match with Wolves. Ipswich visit Newcastle United next Saturday looking to delay confirmation of a drop back to the Championship.

Human rights groups denounce trials as further evidence of a crackdown on opposition by President Kais Saied. The collective trial of around 40 opposition figures has gotten under way in Tunis, with rights groups claiming the crackdown on voices critical of Tunisian President Kais Saied to be politically motivated. Many of the defendants, who stand charged with offences ranging from “plotting against the state security” to “belonging to a terrorist group” are notable critics of the president, including politicians, former diplomats, lawyers and high-profile media figures The families of the accused were reported to have crowded the trial chamber of the Court of First Instance in the Tunisian capital on Tuesday, chanting “freedom”, and accusing the judiciary of acting upon government orders. “We are facing the biggest judicial scandals,” said Bassam Trifi, the head of the Tunisian League for the Defence of Human Rights. “It is one of the darkest injustices in Tunisia’s history.” Charges of rolling back the democratic gains of the country’s revolution of 2011 have dogged Saied since his dramatic power grab of July 2021, when he shuttered Parliament and dismissed its speaker and prime minister, introducing a period of presidential rule by decree. Many of those currently on trial were prominent critics of that process, such as Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, who led both the National Salvation Front and the Citizens Against the Coup group – both formed in protest at Saied’s suspension of Parliament. Ben Mbarek was arrested in a series of raids upon Saied’s critics in February of 2023. Others on trial include former presidential chief of staff Nadia Akacha, former head of intelligence Kamel Guizani, and the former leader of opposition party Ennahda, Abdelhamid Jelassi, who, like Ben Mbarek, was arrested in 2023. Ben Mbarak, Jelassi and four other defendants –  politicians Khayam Turki, Issam Chebbi and Ghazi Chaouachi and lawyer Ridha Belhaj, all of whom have been held in pretrial detention – were barred from attending court, the International Commission of Jurists said, adding that the decision undermined a trial it termed “grossly unfair”. Akacha and Guizani both live abroad. Other prominent Ennahda members on trial include Sahbi Atig and Said Ferjani, as well as former justice minister Noureddine Bhiri. Human Rights Watch denounced the mass trial, calling it a “mockery”. “Tunisian authorities should immediately release all those arbitrarily detained for over the past two years in the so-called ‘conspiracy’ case on abusive charges of security and terrorism offences, and put an end to this mockery of a trial,” said Bassam Khawaja, Human Rights Watch’s deputy Middle East and North Africa director. The move is just the latest crackdown against Saied’s political opponents. Rached Ghannouchi, the 83-year-old leader of the “Muslim Democrat” Ennahda Party, who also served as the speaker of Parliament, has been sentenced to a total of more than 26 years in prison following separate trials, after having first been arrested in April 2023. And on the opposite end of the political spectrum, Abir Moussi, the leader of the secular Free Constitutional Party, has also been in prison since 2023. Despite assurances from Saied as recently as Sunday that he had never interfered with the judiciary, the president has been widely accused of the opposite. Tunisian and international human rights groups have previously denounced Saied’s weakening of the judiciary as a check on his power, including the dismissal of judges and dissolution of a body that guaranteed the judiciary’s independence in 2023. Tunisia’s courts also played a critical role in removing nearly all of Saied’s rivals from the running in last year’s presidential election, jailing several of his rivals on what critics have described as spurious charges and barring them from running for election. Rights groups and international bodies continue to criticise Saied’s actions. Amnesty International has called for an end to politically-motivated prosecutions, while the United Nations has also called for an end to the persecution of political opponents and activists. At the same time, Tunisia has warm relations with the European Union, centred on Tunis cracking down on migrant and refugee routes into Europe from North Africa. Follow Al Jazeera English:...
