#3 Alexis Sanchez makes merry in a game of men vs boys
Coming on as a 64th-minute sub, Sanchez barely put a foot wrong and was a real thorn in the side of Southampton’s defence. They barely managed to take the ball off him, let alone deal with his pace, and he bagged two assists – both for Walcott.
More experienced defenders have struggled to contain Sanchez this season, and one can only feel for the young Saints back-line that were tasked with guarding against his fresh legs in the second half.
It will have done his confidence and Arsenal’s a world of good, an emphatic way to bounce back from the nail-biter against Burnley and Arsene Wenger’s touchline ban.
