Match report: Dundalk 2-4 Arsenal

By Chris Harris

WHAT HAPPENED

Mohamed Elneny smashed in a goal of the season contender as we completed a flawless Europa League group stage.

Our Egypt midfielder found the top corner from 25 yards to double our lead after Eddie Nketiah's early opener.

Jordan Flores pulled one back for Dundalk but we always looked in control, and Joe Willock rammed in a third goal to put the result beyond doubt.

Folarin Balogun's cool finish made it four before Sean Hoare headed a late consolation.

Mikel Arteta changed his entire starting line-up and we began brightly, pressing high up on a less-than-ideal surface.
