Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was delighted with Alexis Sanchez's opener in victory over Burnley. Wenger has seen more than most in football but even he was surprised by the manner of Alexis' opener.

"It was an English goal," said the Arsenal manager. "Did I expect that? Not really. I didn't count on him in the air at all but I know by experience it's more about desire. He has that and he's a winner.

"He finds the resources to get you a goal when it's 0-0, that's what is important. It's always very interesting when you look at the number of goals people score - how many times do they score at 0-0? They're the guys who can really make the difference.

"He's already had a lot of decisive goals and he doesn't score when it's 4-0, he scores when it's 0-0."
