Super Sanchez tames Tigers

Arsenal 2 Hull City 0

Arsenal’s victory over Hull in the FA Cup final last May was meant to unleash the club’s potential after so long without a trophy; and although we await those fruits, Alexis Sanchez’s performance in a third round rematch provided evidence that perhaps progress is, after all, being made at the Emirates.

With him on board — and in this form — there must surely be hope for the future if he can drag teammates up to anywhere near his level.
