Arsene Wenger’s side put in a 5 star performance to absolutely ruin West Ham in one of the most one sided matches this Premier League season. The Gunners dominated from the start of the game and Andy Carroll’s 83rd minute consolation goal could no nothing to wipe the smiles off the visitors’ faces.
Mesut Ozil opened the scoring for the Gunners after being superbly set up by Alexis Sanchez.
PL Assists this season so far:
Pogba – 1 in 12 games
Ozil – 1 in 13 games
Fabregas – 2 in 145 minutes#CFC— Kayode Kolade Chris (@koladechris) December 3, 2016
If we switch Ozil to left-back West Ham are absolutely screwed.

Love the link up play between Alexis & Özil this season! It was on display again for Ozil’s goal! #Arsenal

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s decision making / composure is an absolute joke. Makes Walcott look like pirlo #WHUvAFC

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was extremely wasteful with his chances for large parts of the game, prompting tweets likes..
Has Oxlade-Chamberlain ever made a pass that’s further than 7 or 8 yards? #WHUvAFC
— Craig (@goonercb11) December 3, 2016
I’d be happily surprised if Oxlade Chamberlain made a complete pass in the final third this game #WHUvAFC
— Jeremy Arnold (@JeremyArnold31) December 3, 2016
I didn’t think there could be a player worse than Aaron Ramsey but then came along Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Oxlade-Chamberlain. Terrific pace. Bad at… Everything else.

Ox, Chambers and the fitful Theo. Can we have a moratorium on polite, fresh-faced signings from Southampton? #WHUvAFC
— Chas Newkey-Burden (@allthatchas) December 3, 2016
Oh OX. So selfish. #WHUvAFC

Wasteful first half, struggling second half. Typical Arsenal. #afc

After much domination in the second half, alexis Sanchez finally got his second of the game.
Wonderful goal from the brilliant Alexis Sanchez.

BOOOM! 2-0. What a goal, what a player. @Alexis_Sanchez #WHUvAFC

Alexis Sanchez is clutching his groin. Wenger looks over at Lucas, throws Sanchez a pair of crutches and tells him to get on with it.

Don’t forget, 7pm Sky Sports 5, Lebedev v Gassiev. Roach v Sanchez. Expected fight of the year for IBF Cruiserweight belt & Russian pride.

I’d evict all the residents from Highbury & turn it into a rescue sanctuary for stray dogs to keep Alexis Sanchez

Buzzing for Sanchez interview in English after the game to talk about his dogs again.

Why do I even bother? Alexis defies theory. That first touch is an absolute outrage. However much he wants, give it to him #WHUvAFC #wizard

Sanchez is just too good ?? Thanks a lot @FCBarcelona ?

YEP YEP, Don’t ever tell me Hazard is better than Sanchez ever again

Eventually, the fans would be full of praise for the Ox’s stunning effort.

BOOOOOOOOOM! 4-1. Brilliant goal by The Ox @Alex_OxChambo.
West Ham defence just a shambles. #WHUvAFC— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 3, 2016
The range of emotions Arsenal fans went through can be adequately described by these.
THAT’S WHAT WE WANTED BY THE OX! BRILLIANT GOAL.

This must happen: Iwobi in for The OX.

Eventually, Sanchez managed to get his hattrick, and fans were pleading for him to be given a new contract.
Please please please @Arsenal pay Alexis anything!!!! Keep him at our club!!! #WHUvAFC #AFC

Put Aguero in for Alexis Sanchez in fantasy team this week. And made him captain. #WHUvAFC pic.twitter.com/j2QuZ1FOpb

That’s it. The Alexis Sanchez show finishes 5-1. Arsenal may miss Cazorla but as long as Sanchez is fit they are contenders. #WHUvAFC

West Shambles. #WHUvAFC

We’ve seen some great goals, but Glen Hoddle saying that Alexis Sanchez gives him ‘the facials’ is the highlight of the match. #WHUvAFC

Stop it @Alexis_Sanchez!! ?

14:29 – There were just 14 minutes & 29 seconds between Alexis Sanchez’s 1st and 3rd goals in this game for Arsenal. Wonder.

FT: 5-1.
Wonderful performance from @Alexis_Sanchez.
I wasn’t convinced he was a true, No9 centre-forward.
Now, I am. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 3, 2016
