Arsenal 3-0 Burnley: Alexis Sanchez and Calum Chambers break stubborn Clarets' resistance with two-minute second half double

Once more it was down to Alexis Sanchez to save Arsenal. It's a story that's becoming an all to regular occurrence at the moment: when Arsenal are in a spot of bother, up pops the Chilean to rescue his team.

That's what £30million gets you. A match winner - and Sanchez is that in every sense of the word.

He scored two more goals against Burnley on Saturday in a game that for so long looked like it could end in frustration for Arsene Wenger's men.
