    Wahey! Nice interchange by Arsenal, but a wild shot by Lucas Perez almost hits the corner flag. Rubbish.

    Steve Bould is next to Arsene Wenger on the Arsenal bench. He still looks like he could go, both on the pitch and in a scrap. The Gunners might even be better off with him at the back tonight.

    I tell you what, it's been all Sutton since the second goal. They're knocking it round and hassling the Arsenal back four. Don't write off a Sutton goal.

    Bob Moss Seems like the FA Cup will be Arsenal's only chance for a trophy this year, with the easy passage they now have to the semi final.

    Si High velocity tiki-taka at its finest for Walcott's goal. Looking at Wenger's celebration, I was reminded of Father Ted.

    Jack Rozyck Odds of Sutton winning this now are most likely smaller than Leicester's chances of winning the league was last year.

    Another! David Ospina flaps at the corner like washing on the line. In comes Jamie Collins, but the header is over the bar. That's Sutton's best chance.

    Get your head on it! Roarie Deacon once more, it's been a box of tricks all night. How many stepovers was that? Six? A cross, just cleared by Nacho Monreal. Corner...

    Alexis Sanchez is warming up. I've no idea why he would need to come on with the scoreline as it is...

    Sutton have got to come off that pitch with no regrets. It will be disappointing if they lose but there's still a lot of minutes left. They've got to start pushing forward and grow in confidence.

    A Sutton chance! Adam May finds space, three on two, squared to Maxime Biamou, whose shot is wet-lettuce stuff. May would have been batter going himself.

    Eventually Arsenal's superior skill and ability pays off. Sutton can't get a foot in the game at all at the moment. When they do get the ball they have no outlet and can't hold onto it. They're looking tired.

    GOAL - Sutton 0-2 Arsenalpublished at 54 mins

    Theo Walcott

    That's the ball game, Arsenal's progress to the last eight probably sealed by Theo Walcott's 100th goal for the club. It's a wonderful move, one-twos through the middle freeing Nacho Monreal down the left. His cross finds Walcott at the back post, with the skipper merely having to apply a side-footed finish. Another punch of the air from Wenger. He's probably right to feel home and hosed.

    Dan Bond It's all set up for Sutton to equalise. Then for Wayne Shaw to come on and head in from a last-minute corner.  

    Catherine Why are no Sutton players pressuring the hell out of Holding?! He's the weak link.

    Thomas Brooks Sutton been really poor. Arsenal players want it more.

    Suddenly Gomis sprang to life. He had more urgency than Monreal, he almost got away but Arsenal crowded him out in numbers.

    Sutton have sprung into life. Bedsente Gomis surging forward, turning in the Arsenal box, only to be crowded out by a crowd of red shirts. That's the loudest cheer we've heard for a while.

    Allocated seating has gone out of the window. Fans are standing everywhere. It's been a disjointed start to the second half, neither side getting a grip.

    Sutton have got to get a grip of the game now and don't sit back. Hope Arsenal will make a mistake. When they put pressure on there are a few mistakes. Look at when Holding almost put the ball in his own net. They've got to continue to probe, push and ask questions.

    In case you're wondering, Gander Green Lane is the sort of ground where you can stand outside the stadium and still be able to see the action. There are two men behind the Sutton goal, on a slight hill, peering over the stand. Someone charge them a tenner.

    Sutton have definitely started more positively. They need to put Arsenal under more pressure and that's what they're doing.

    Hello! Almost a comedy OG. Rob Holding under pressure, toes the ball back to David Ospina from all of 30 yards. It's past the keeper, but drifting wide. Would have been awesome.

    It could get nervy for Arsenal out there as the game goes on. Sutton have done nothing wrong at all so far.
