Despite his summer transfer sage, Alexis Sanchez remains one of Arsenal’s most important players and his quality backheel assist was just another example of the threat he possesses.
The Chile international found Alex Iwobi with a delightful piece of skill to allow him to double Arsenal’s lead against Brighton after Nacho Monreal had opened the scoring.
In doing so, he recorded a statistic that seriously embarrasses his Arsenal team-mates and proves just how important he is to Arsene Wenger’s side.
Since the start of last season, Sanchez has been involved in an impressive 35 Premier League goals, scoring on 24 occasions and providing 11 assists.
Incredibly, that total is more than double any other Arsenal player has offered up in the same period.
It’s pretty clear just how vital he is to Arsenal’s Premier League hopes…
