Hull City boss Steve Bruce has dubbed Alexis Sanchez "world class" after their FA Cup defeat to Arsenal.
The lively striker, 26, has now played 29 matches this season and it was his energy that ensured that the Gunners beat the Tigers just like they did in last year's cup final.
Bruce said: "Sanchez is a world class player.
"I thought he was outstanding - he is always a threat - and could have scored two or three. He looks a very, very good player.
"I have to say Sanchez's appetite and desire is what every player should be looking at.
"Forget the ability he has got, the work rate and effort and endeavour he puts in - there was no sign of him being tired."
