Two first half goals from Alexis Sanchez gave Arsenal a comfortable
2-0 win over West Brom at the Emirates. The Chilean has now scored six
goals and assisted three more in his last five games.
He opened the scoring in the 4th minute when he spinned away from
Sandro, and took a shot from 20 yards to opening the scoring for
Wenger's side. It was Arsenal's first goal from outside the box in the
league in 2016.
Sanchez has returned to goal scoring form since being moved to the right wing.
Arsene Wenger made three changes from the match against Crystal Palace
at the weekend with Giroud, Ramsey and Mertesacker coming in for
Welbeck, Coquelin and Gabriel. Despite the German's presence in the
back four, West Brom should have scored from a corner to tie the match
after hitting the bar with Petr Cech beaten.
Alexis Sanchez sealed the match in the 33rd minute to move Arsenal
back into third place two points ahead of Manchester City on 63
points. However, the battle for a top four finish will go down to the
last weeks of the season with Manchester United just four points
Arsenal in fifth place with four matches left.
The match at the Emirates was watched by few supporters, as many
stayed away despite most of the tickets going on general sale few days
earlier. Most fans have been frustrated and disillusioned by the way
the season has panned out. With Arsenal now expected to finish the
season without a trophy, and yet another poor attempt to mount a
sustained title challenge.
Arsenal travel to the Stadium of Light to face relegation threatened
Sunderland in this weekend fixtures.
