5 things we learned from Arsenal v Manchester City in the FA Cup

Sanchez worth his weight in gold

Alexis Sanchez has been absolutely brilliant for Arsenal this season, but as the campaign goes on and the summer nears, it still remains far from certain whether he’ll be at the Emirates next season.

But today once again proved that the Gunners quite simply have to get a deal agreed with the Chile international over the coming months.

The 28-year-old was pretty anonymous in the first half as Wenger’s men struggled to get a foothold and get the ball up to the front players, but he grew into the game in the second period, before being in the right place at the right time to fire home the winner.

Big players score big goals in big games, and although Sanchez has arguably had better games this season for Arsenal, this goal was arguably his most important.

He is worth his weight in gold to Arsenal – it’s up to the club to tie him down to a new deal.
