-

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott scored his landmark 100th goal for the club in a 2-0 win at Sutton United in the FA Cup yesterday as they safely negotiated the minefield of a visit to the minor league team and secured a place in the quarterfin­als. The England striker reached his century after the break, adding to a first-half strike from Lucas Perez, as the English Premier League giants ended the National League club’s fairytale run. Arsene Wenger’s men coped with an artificial pitch in a ramshackle south London ground to beat, but not overwhelm, the courageous fifthtier dreamers.
