Eddie Nketiah News

The victory keeps Arsenal five points clear of Manchester City with a game in hand and adds another big result against a top rival for Mikel Arteta’s team this season — following wins over Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.

The 22-year-old Eddie Nketiah, who has not started in the Premier League this season, put the Gunners ahead, against the third-tier club. 

The victory means that Arsenal now have won all their five Europa League matches that they have played so far in the season.

Eddie Nketiah, Joe Willock and Nicolas Pepe scored goals during Arsenal's comfortable 3-0 Europa League win over Irish side Dundalk. While Arsenal are standing at the top of Group B with six points, Dundalk are placed at the bottom with no points. Arsenal will lock horns with Molde in their next Group B match of Europa League at Emirates Stadium on November 6.

Substitute Eddie Nketiah struck a late goal to give Arsenal a 2-1 home win over West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday. West Ham were more organised playing with a five-man defence during Arsenal clash than in their opening 2-0 home loss to Newcastle United. The victory means Arsenal have won 11 of their past 12 home games against the Hammers in all competitions.

Fan protests marred the start of Arsenal`s pre-season voyage across America, with a petition launched by 16 fan websites reaching over 100,000 signatures in a matter of days.
