Twitter explodes as Alexis Sanchez scores with his hand

Alexis Sanchez gave Arsenal the lead against Hull City but in controversial style. The ball bounced off the Tiger’s keeper, Eldin Jakupovi and hit Alexis’ arm before going in.

The referee didn’t spot it and ‘Hand of Alexis’ stood. Here’s how twitter reacted:

Alexis only had eyes for the ball. His hand being there was just part of the nature movement of his body when scoring.
