Alexis Sanchez scored a superb header to round off a 22-pass move from Arsenal in their 4-1 win over Sunderland.

Every Arsenal player touched the ball apart from Alex Iwobi as the Gunners worked their way through the Sunderland defence.

The decisive pass came though as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain burst past Duncan Watmore on the right flank before firing across a dangerous cross into the Sunderland penalty area.

Sanchez did the rest __with his movement taking him in front of Lamine Kone and the Chile international powered a header into the far corner, leaving goalkeeper Jordan Pickford __with no chance.

David Moyes's side briefly threatened to halt Arsenal's march towards three points, with Jermain Defoe converting from the spot after Watmore was tripped by Petr Cech.

However, three goals in eight minutes scored by substitute Olivier Giroud and Sanchez, who grabbed his 50th Arsenal goal, sealed Arsene Wenger's side's victory at the Stadium of Light.
