ALEXIS Sanchez’s fine free kick equaliser for Arsenal en route to a 2-1 victory at Middlesbrough on Monday night in the Premier League takes him one goal closer to equalling an Arsenal Premier League record currently held by Emmanuel Adebayor.
Back in the 2007/08 season, the Togo frontman set the north Londoners’ record for away goals scored in the top flight when he netted 14 as Wenger’s team finished third.
It was a haul that underpinned Adebayor’s best season at the Emirates Stadium as he managed 24 goals in 36 league appearances. He scored 10 in 26 the year after before securing a move to Manchester City for a then-record transfer fee of £25-million.
Sanchez’s goal against Boro was his 13th away league goal of the season, taking him one off Ade’s record haul.
