Alexis Sanchez has proved a big hit with the Arsenal faithful so far since his £35m move from Barcelona this summer, for his relentless attacking displays, and his, erm, constantly animated face.

The Chilean seemingly has far more control over the ball than he does his facial expression, as the gallery (bellow) shows.

His habit of pulling funny faces continued today when he scored against Sunderland. After a mistake by Wes Brown, Sanchez raced in on goal before a fine flicked finish. In the build-up to the goal though, he was pictured (above) yet again pulling a daft expression.

Sanchez's goal today took his tally for Arsenal to seven.
