In the period up to the opening goal, Alexis Sanchez was guilty of squandering possession at least three times in areas where you feel he can do better.
Then, collected Mesut Ozil’s flick, he produced a sublime piece of football, leaving defenders going the wrong way before slotting home his 25th goal of the season (read the report and watch the goals here).
He wasn’t worried about what had gone wrong, simply focused on making something happen and that sums up the Chilean, according to Arsene Wenger.
“I think the goal that he has scored tonight showed what he is about,” said the manager after the game.
“Very good technique in a short space, he scores important goals. And with very short technique he has invention in his head.
“He’s creative because he’s not fazed by anything and he’s surprised everybody in the stadium tonight by what he did.
“They expected him to take a shot and he is very quick, so overall he has done extremely well.”
Wenger also had some words of praise for Olivier Giroud who came off the bench and scored his 6th goal of the season as a substitute.
“I would say as well, Giroud came on and again the second goal was a very important goal for us tonight.”
