Wenger thrilled with Perez after Nottingham Forest double

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger liked what he saw from forward Lucas Perez in his side's EFL Cup win at Nottingham Forest. 

The Spanish signing netted his first goals for the club, striking twice in the second half of the 4-0 win on Tuesday. 

Perez's performance pleased Wenger, particularly his second goal – as he fought off the close attentions of a defender before netting. 

"The second goal has technical quality and desire, determination and fighting spirit," Wenger said, via the club's website. 

"I liked the second goal for that, I liked as well the goal he made for [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain. I'm very pleased for him."
