Alexis Sanchez grew up stealing bread for his family, now steals goals for Arsenal (VIDEO)

If Alexis Sanchez is not the best player in the English Premier League, no doubt, the Arsenal front man is one of the deadliest strikers in the league.

Sanchez’s performance in Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat of Bournemouth on Sunday was the latest game in which the Chilean made it known that no player is so crucial to his club’s cause than him.

Beyond his eight goals so far this season, his work ethic and his assists to fellow players, another thing Sanchez has been prolific is stealing goals when you least expect.

On several occasions, Sanchez has shown that he can conjure scoring chances for himself. Such was what happened on Sunday against Bournemouth when Steve Cook’s backpass allowed Sanchez to score Arsenal’s 12th minute opener.

No doubt, Sanchez’s reinvention as a striker has made him almost irreplaceable to Arsenal and it has also made him perhaps the most potent individual in Premier League football.
