Dundalk FC saw off close neighbours Drogheda United 1-0 at United Park on Thursday evening. The only goal of the game came from Connor Malley in the 65th minutes.

But Dundalk had goalkeeper Nathan Shepperd to thank for taking all three points from the Louth derby. He saved a 87th minute Freddie Draper penalty as the Lilywhites climbed to third in the league table.

Gabriel Jesus doubles up to see off Leeds and keep Arsenal on track

As you were. Arsenal needed a trouble-free afternoon and, after a scratchy first third of this game, sailed home with the most comfortable three points they will earn all season. Any stumble would have looked all the more significant given the manner of Manchester City’s earlier success but the outcome was in scant doubt from the moment Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring with a penalty 10 minutes before half-time. He would double his tally, in a timely return to scoring form, after a goal from Ben White; a reply from Rasmus Kristensen never felt consequential and was quickly followed by Granit Xhaka’s third goal in as many club games. Mikel Arteta can reflect that the first stage of a 10-game sprint was completed with little fuss.
