Highlights

End of 2nd Half

Full time: Job done for Mikel Arteta's side, who conclude Group B with six wins from six games. Eleven changes this evening, four goals and it's a comfortable night's work.

90'+1

Chambers has the ball in the back of the net, poking home from Pepe's free-kick. He thinks he has marked his first start in almost a year with a goal... but it's chalked off for offside.

90'

There will be FOUR minutes of added time to play.

87'

Three minutes to play - surely it's too late for a Dundalk comeback?! Concede another goal and Arsenal might get nervous...

85'

GOAL! Dundalk 2-4 Arsenal (Hoare): Dundalk have a second! Hoare scores his first goal in European football as Arsenal switch off defending a set-piece. Flores whips a free-kick into the box and Hoare rises above everyone to head past Runarsson.

Yellow card! Kelly is cautioned for a foul on Cedric.

80'

GOAL! Dundalk 1-4 Arsenal (Balogun): The youngster grabs the goal his performance deserves! On as a substitute, he has made quite the impression, and he makes no mistake when released through on goal by Pepe, placing it past Rogers with a composed finish.

F. Balogun

77'

Subs! Duffy and McElneny make way for Wynne and Colovic for Dundalk, while Smith-Rowe is replaced by Cottrell for Arsenal.

77'

Yellow card! Shields goes into the book.

75'

Arsenal are looking good for maximum points in Group B.

74'

Pepe, on the other hand, has endured a frustrating evening. He goes for goal from a long way out but is never troubling the goalkeeper with a curling shot.

73'

Balogun has been impressive since his introduction. Few players have stood out for Arsenal on a poor surface, but he won't have done his chances any harm.

70'

Yellow card! Cleary goes into the book for a foul on Smith-Rowe.

67'

GOAL! Dundalk 1-3 Arsenal (Willock): That will seal it! It has been a lacklustre performance from Arsenal but they're out of sight now. Balogun shows great strength and vision to hold the ball up and then play the right pass to Willick, who pokes it home.

J. Willock

63'

Save! Cedric takes the free-kick and forces Rogers into a great save on the stretch.

62'

Double Arsenal sub: Elneny and Nketiah are the two to make way for Ceballos and Balogun.

61'

Yellow card! The substitute Mountney goes into the book for a foul on Smith-Rowe, conceding a free-kick in a dangerous area in the process.

60'

Ceballos and Balogun are preparing to come on for Arsenal. Arteta's side have dropped their intensity, can the duo provide the spark needed to light up this contest?

57'

Dundalk deserve great credit. They could have easily crumbled after going two goals down early doors. But they have shown great resilience and now they're enjoying a spell of possession. They're far from out of this.

54'

Double Dundalk sub: Daniel Kelly is McMillan's replacement, with John Mountney coming on for Gannon.
