The artificial pitch at Gander Green Lane isn't a problem for Lucas Perez.
On Monday, in the minnow-versus-giant tie between Sutton United and Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Perez opened the scoring in the 26th minute, exploiting the space left by the non-league club on the right flank and crossing the ball to Theo Walcott, who distracted Ross Worner as the ball rolled into the back of the net.
9 - Lucas Perez has been directly involved in 9 goals in his last 8 starts for Arsenal in all comps (6 goals, 3 assists). Option.

It was a goal nobody saw coming, as Arsenal had failed to do much in the first 25 minutes of the tie.
