#1 The real Alexis Sanchez is back

Arsenal FC v 1. FC Koeln - UEFA Europa League
Alexis Sanchez has played 168 minutes for Arsenal this season

For the first time since his everlasting transfer debacle, Alexis Sánchez started a game for Arsenal.

Last week, Arsène Wenger stated the Chilean was 100% focused on playing for Arsenal, and he proved just such. The 28-year old was his normal busy self, regularly hanging onto the ball and chasing down opposing defenders.

In the 65th minute, the Chilean showed the fans why he’s still their best player. After magically cutting inside and dribbling past a few players, the 28-year old whipped a wicked ball around a defender from the edge of the box to put the Gunners in the lead.

The Chilean's performance answered all questions about his commitment to the club, proving he’s ready to play his heart out for the rest of the season.
