  • 0' And we are off! Arsenal FC vs Dundalk FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Dundalk FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' Arsenal FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 25' It is a cagey affair so far. Arsenal FC in their trying to find a way past Dundalk FC's compact .
  • 30' Bosnia-Herzegovina international Sead Kolasinac has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 35' Stefan Colovic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Dundalk FC so far.
  • 40' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Arsenal FC and Dundalk FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 42' Eddie Nketiah puts Arsenal FC on the lead.
  • 44' Magnificent from Joe Willock! That is 31 goals in 425 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 46' The deadlock is broken! Nicolas Pepe gets on the scoresheet on 46 minutes.
  • 46' A change in the Dundalk FC ranks — Sean Murray exits the field as Greg Sloggett enters on 46.
  • 51' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 53' Jordan Flores is ready to make an impact after coming on for Patrick McEleney at the 53 minute mark.
  • 58' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Cameron Dummigan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' A change in the Arsenal FC ranks — Shkodran Mustafi exits the field as Dani Ceballos enters on 61.
  • 62' Willian is replacing Nicolas Pepe for the Arsenal FC side.

  • 74' Fresh legs for Arsenal FC! Kieran Tierney comes on to replace Granit Xhaka.
  • 79' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cedric made 360 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 84' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arsenal FC that had 425 games and scored 744 goals.
  • 89' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • The final score is 3-0.
