Alexis was relatively quiet in the first half of our Emirates FA Cup semi-final - but he came alive when it mattered.
The Chilean was the quickest to react when Danny Welbeck couldn’t get a decent connection on Laurent Koscielny’s header, slamming the ball into the net from close range for our extra-time winner.
Alexis came out of his shell in the sunshine at Wembley and Arsène Wenger says that it's something of a trait for our top scorer.
“It’s strange because I feel that he always grows during the game,” said the boss.
