Alexis Sanchez scored twice and missed a penalty as Arsenal secured a 4-1 Premier League win against 10-man Hull City at the KCOM Stadium.
Sanchez struck late to earn Arsenal a point in the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, and he played an influential role again on Saturday, although he was unable to complete a hat-trick.
The Chilean got the slightest of touches on Alex Iwobi’s shot to give Arsenal the lead after 17 minutes, and Jake Livermore was sent off for deliberate handball just before half-time.
Eldin Jakupovic saved Sanchez effort from the resultant penalty but Hull couldn’t resist the waves of Arsenal attacks in the second half and Walcott netted his 100th career goal after 55 minutes.
Hull pulled one back through a Robert Snodgrass penalty, but Sanchez bagged his second of the game before Granit Xhaka – who replaced Santi Cazorla in the 67th minute – rifled home a phenomenal 30-yard strike in second-half stoppage time.
