Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of Arsenal's Europa League tie with Irish outfit Dundalk.

The most comfortable of second periods for Arsenal after a bit of a shaky start but Mikel Arteta will be fairly happy with the result and some good illustrations of the young attacking talent he has at his disposal. Thanks for following the match with us tonight.

Tierney at least wants a goal and he strikes a fierce effort from just inside the box but Gartland, probably the pick of the Dundalk side, blocks his effort.

You get the feeling both sides would happily shake hands now and take the 3-0 result.

Nelson has a stylish run and backheel before Tierney blazes over the bar.

Free kick from Hoban from 30 yards out flies well wide of the target.

Xhaka comes off for Tierney and Balogun replaces Nketiah.

Willock showing some lovely feet on the by-line and sets up Nketiah who blazes over the bar.

Maitland-Niles breaks into the area and strikes at goal but Rogers gets down to block the effort.

Willock danced around a couple of defenders in the box but stand-in skipper Gartland recovered well to force a corner.

Gannon comes on for Shields for Dundalk. The slew of substitutions is taking the flow out of the game which suits the visitors really.

Ceballos and Willian enter the fray for Mustafi and Pepe.

Nelson puts in a corner in to the back post but Elneny is penalised for a foul.

Nketiah tries a low curling effort into the far corner but it bends just too late.

Another switch for Dundalk. Hoare comes on for Cleary.

McEleney looks like he's stretched his groin and is repaced by Flores.

GOAL! And what a goal. Pepe with his wrong foot hits a delightful dink from the edge of the box into the top right hand corner. Willocks squared the ball across the 18-yard box and there didn't seem a great deal of danger but a slight roll away from the defender and then a superb effort gave Rogers no chance.

Arsenal restart the game.

Sloggett comes on for Dundalk replacing Murray. Better name for a cricketer really.
