WGL Sports Performer of the Day (2/20/17)
Arsenal Midfielder/Forward Theo Walcott (1 goal)
The dream for Sutton United came to an end on Monday. The non-league club had defied all expectations and advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup, but their magical run came to an end against Arsenal. The Gunners have had a tough time of it lately. Their poor run of form has seen them slip to fourth in the Premier League table amid calls for the firing of manager Arsene Wenger. With their league title hopes slipping away, at least they still have one trophy to play for. The Gunners picked up a dominating 2-0 win to advance to the FA Cup quarterfinals. Theo Walcott found the back of the net in the 55th minute to put Sutton United in an insurmountable 2-0 hole. For Walcott, it was his 100th career goal for Arsenal. The 27-year-old has been with the Gunners since 2006. He now has 14 goals in all competitions this season.
