Arsenal got back to winning ways on Saturday with a scrappy 2-0 win over Hull City at the Emirates Stadium, and Alexis Sanchez was the major talking point in the immediate aftermath of the match.

Sanchez scored both the goals for Arsenal with one each on either side of half time ensuring that Arsenal climbed ahead of Manchester City and level on points with Tottenham Hotspur on 50 points to be placed third on the Premier League table.

However, it was the opener that has already been discussed fiercely, as Sanchez controversially put the ball in the back of the net with his hand. There has been fierce debate if the goal should have been adjudged as handball or if it was correctly allowed, and you can judge yourself by having another look at it.
