Alexis Sanchez scored twice and created a third as Arsenal climbed level on points with fourth-placed Southampton and moved above Tottenham in the Premier League.

The Chilean was superb in the 3-0 win over Stoke City at the Emirates.

After Laurent Koscielny headed Arsenal into a sixth-minute lead from a Sanchez cross the former Barcelona player fired in a brilliant second before scoring with a deflected free-kick for his 18th goal in all competitions this season.

Arsenal's win was soured somewhat by a serious looking injury to defender Mathieu Debuchy but the Gunners were able to welcome back German World Cup-winner Mesut Ozil following a length injury absence.

Stoke never looked in the match, perhaps surprising considering their recent 3-2 win over the Gunners at the Britannia.

Here, we take a look at the individual performances...
