How the Arsenal dressing room reacted to Europa League win over Dundalk

Arsenal players have been reacting to their side's 3-0 home win over Dundalk in the Europa League on Thursday night.

The Gunners made it two wins from as many games in the group stage with a comfortable win over the Republic of Ireland side, who gave it a real good go at the Emirates Stadium.

Ultimately, their resolve was broken by two goals in two minutes before half-time and then another just one minute after the restart.

Eddie Nketiah put Arsenal ahead following a goalkeeping mistake from a corner, and his goal was followed by two super finishes - one from Joe Willock and another from Nicolas Pepe.

The win means Arsenal are top of their group, locked on six points with Norwegian outfit Molde, who have also won their first two outings.

The Gunners go up against Molde next Thursday before the Europa League takes a couple of weeks off following its frantic start.

But before then, some Arsenal players have been paying homage to their win over Dundalk which saw them maintain their perfect record in this season's Europa League.

Sead Kolasinac, Folarin Balogun, Eddie Nketiah and Cedric Soares have all taken to Twitter to show their delight with the three points.

Here is what they have had to say.

Speaking after the game, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta reserved praise for Dundalk, saying: "I didn’t know how they were going to play.”

"They’ve been playing 4-3-3 all season and 4-1-4-1, and I knew they could come back after what we’ve seen in the last few weeks and play with five at the back. We were prepared for that.

“They’re a really committed team, the way they go about every ball, and they try hard. Credit to them for what they’ve done in the last few months but I’m happy to beat them.”
