Arsenal's hopes of winning a third FA Cup title in a row have been given a huge boost after watching Alexis Sanchez's return to the pitch. The South American ace assisted Calum Chambers for the first goal of the evening, and capped the team's performance with a beautiful strike to the roof of the net. With this win, Arsenal qualified to the fifth round of the tournament and have to be deemed as favorites to win the title for the third straight year.
Sanchez worked his magic right from the start, setting up Calum Chambers' right-footed strike inside Burnley's box. Things for Arsenal were not as easy as expected, with Burnley bouncing back thanks to Sam Vokes' equalizer prior to the end of the first half, but once again, Sánchez showed he is fully recovered by scoring the game-winning goal for Arsenal with a thunderous strike after a swift counter attack.
The team's Twitter feed celebrated Sanchez's goal with a photo post.
