Arsenal's Lucas Perez: Hat-trick in win over Basel

Perez scored a hat-trick on three shot attempts during Teusday's 4-1 win over FC Basel.

Analysis:

Making a rare start with the regulars, Perez displayed his forward instincts by converting on a close-range chance and a rebound in the first half before completing his hat-trick shortly after the half. Perez hasn't seen a wealth of first-team action this season, but he already has five goals and two assists despite making just five starts for the Gunners, including three goals and two assists in just 118 Champions League minutes. He could eventually stake his claim to a regular spot in the attack, but he seems likely to begin Saturday's match versus Stoke on the bench.
