Maybe the lawn is being irrigated. *If you go close enough it looks

Oh, but it's not a real lawn, is it?

Yes, it was - at least, it mostly was - the new(-ish) pitch at
Ashburton Grove has some synthetic fibres woven in with the turf
("Desso Grassmaster"), though I'm not sure if this synthetic element
was ever a feature at the old Highbury.

As Paul Scott says, the Google maps aerial image shows the pitch being
'sunned'.
