Alexis Sanchez downs Burnley with a late minute penalty
Alexis Sanchez’s controversial late penalty earned Arsenal a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Burnley and moved Arsene Wenger’s side into fourth place in the Premier League.
Sanchez struck in the first minute of stoppage-time after Burnley defender James Tarkowski was judged to have pushed Aaron Ramsey in the back as he competed for a cross.
It was a decision which infuriated Burnley players and supporters alike, but the Arsenal striker kept his composure superbly to convert the spot kick into the bottom left-hand corner.
