The Chile international came close to leaving for Manchester City but his goal against Koln shows why the club were right to keep him

Alexis Sanchez showed in one flash of brilliance on Thursday night why Arsene Wenger decided to take an £140million hit by keeping the Chilean star this summer.

Wenger recently admitted that Arsenal have missed out on a fee of almost £70million after his move to Manchester City was blocked due to the Gunners failing to land Monaco's Thomas Lemar as a replacement.
