Top 5: Premier League Players of the Weekend
3. Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)
Chilean Sanchez scored, assisted and won a penalty as Arsenal cruised to a 3-1 win at Watford.
Just eight minutes in at Vicarage Road and the 27-year-old was bundled over in the area by Nordin Amrabat as he challenged for Mesut Ozil’s cross, with Santi Cazorla dispatching the spot-kick.

Still inside the first-half and the former FC Barcelona forward put the Gunners two up, squeezing the ball over the line at the far post after a perfect ball in by Theo Walcott.
Arsene Wenger’s side went into the break with the score at 3-0, as it was Sanchez who provided the perfect cross for Ozil to power home a header.
