Manchester United entered this week on top of the Premier League table. Arsenal lost to Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League in the middle of the week. The Premier League clash between the two teams was supposed to be a close one, with United slight favorites. And just six minutes into the match, Alexis Sanchez blew the narrative to pieces.

A minute later, Arsenal scored again, going 2-0 up. But giving up back-to-back goals in under two minutes wasn’t even the worst part of the game for United. No, that would be the goal Sanchez scored 20 minutes into the match to all but seal the result for the Gunners.
How Arsenal can lose to Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos, then do stuff like this, we have no idea. But this is the Gunners at their absolute best, playing fast, creative, one-touch football. If they could figure out how to do this all the time, they’d win the league going away.
