Alexis goal featured most passes this season

The Chilean’s seventh goal this campaign was achieved following a complex spell of build-up and pressure that sets a new mark in the Premier League

Alexis Sanchez’s opener for Arsenal against Sunderland on Saturday featured a total of 22 passes in its build-up – the most for any Premier League goal scored this season.

The Chilean polished off a well-worked move at the Stadium of Light for his seventh goal of the campaign to put Arsene Wenger’s men in front.

And the 19th-minute finish from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s excellent cross helped the Gunners to set a new mark for this term.
