The London derby between Arsenal and West Ham always involves goals, with this game in December having six in a 5-1 victory for Arsenal at the London Stadium.

Alexis Sanchez scored three of the five for the Gunners as his fantastic performance saw him score three goals and get an assist away at West Ham.

For his first, he used great strength to turn and hold off two defenders before firing into the corner from a tight angle. He followed that up with an unstoppable low volley into the corner for his second. After a goal from Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sanchez completed his 14-minute hat-trick where he feinted to shoot at first, fooling Darren Randolph in goal, before scoring a delightful chip.

The hat-trick rounded off a magnificent individual performance from the Chilean in this London derby, where Arsenal humiliated a West Ham who struggled all season to impress in their new stadium.
