Arsenal player ratings vs Dundalk: Smith Rowe and Willock shine, Balogun impresses

Runarsson - Looked shaky at the start and could have done better for both goals. 6.

Cedric - A comfortable game for the Portuguese. Received a yellow card, had one free-kick well saved. 7.

Mustafi - Captained the team and was rarely tested. 6.

Chambers - The perfect game to make his return in. Comfortable at the back and showed good distribution. 7.

Mari - Some nice passes on his left foot but could have done better for the second goal. 6.

Maitland-Niles - A solid performance on the left hand side. Linked up well with Smith Rowe. 7.

Elneny - Scored a wonderstrike and produced a complete performance at the heart of midfield. 7.

Willock - Arsenal's main man in the Europa League scored again and impressed in midfield. 7.

Smith Rowe - Always bright, made an assist for Elneny and created the most chances for Arsenal tonight (3). 8.

Pepe - Had minimal impact on the game and will be disappointed not to have got a goal. 6.

Nketiah - Scored a typical goal poachers strike. A confidence boost for the England striker. 7.

Subs:

Balogun - Great hold up play when he came on. An assist and a goal too. Absolutely superb and needs to sign a new contract soon. 8.

Ceballos - Not on long enough to impact.

Azeez - Had a smile on his face when he came on but didn't have enough time to impact the game.

Cottrell - Wasn't on long enough to make an impact but a huge moment to make his senior first team debut for the cub.
