Tweets – Arsenal fans love and hate Lucas for diving against Lincoln

Mar 11, 2017

Arsenal fans love Lucas Perez and after his cameo against Lincoln City, some of them fell in love with him a little bit more.

With the Gunners already 5-0 up and Lucas not long on, he looked to dive in the box, attempting to win a penalty.

Normally things like that are annoying. Nobody wants to see their players diving, but this was different. Why? Because of everything we’ve had to listen to about our club and our players, and how they don’t want it enough.

How much more do you have to want it to dive for a penalty at 5-0 up against a non-league side?

Here’s what happened:

Here’s how some Arsenal fans reacted to it on Twitter:

LUCAS DIVING WHEN WE'RE 5-0 UP AGAINST A NON LEAGUE TEAM. MY MAN HAS TO START FROM NOW ON.

If an Arsenal player dives:

"that's disgusting, really poor"

If any other player dives:

"well, it's part of the game"

But of course, not everybody agreed:

5-0 up against Lincoln city, and you feel the need to dive! What kind of planet is Lucas on, its embarrassing! #arsvlcfc #FACup

Then there were others who didn’t think it was a dive at all:

A dive says Chris Sutton, as Lucas Perez has his legs kicked.
