Arsenal boss Wenger says Alexis stronger for debut

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez will be stronger for his debut in victory over Crystal Palace.

Sanchez showed some positive touches, albeit without setting the match alight.

"I am very happy with his attitude because he kept on fighting for 90 minutes, even if he is not completely ready physically," said the Arsenal manager.

"Tactically he needs to improve his understanding with his partners but he looked lively and dangerous until the end.

"I am happy with his overall attitude and performance."
