Arsenal came roaring back to form in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Everton to bring some life back into their pursuit of the league title. Goals from Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi ensured the Gunners came away with all three points to put some pressure on Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur above them.

But one of the highlights of the game was Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez chasing a ball towards the corner flag but failing to keep it in. What happened next even had the Everton fans smiling in spite of the scoreline as the Chilean forward couldn’t slow himself down in time to prevent a fall into the stands.

Alexis managed to avoid any serious injury and he was just relieved it wasn’t like the game against Norwich City where he fell into the cameraman’s dugout. And as he tried to prise himself away from the seats, he simply put one down and took a seat, much to the amusement of those sitting around him and millions watching the game live.

Of course, Twitter users had a good time making memes of the incident and here are a few select ones that went viral.
