Alexis Sanchez scored twice as Arsenal edged a five-goal thriller to move within a point of fourth-placed Liverpool.

Comedian Jack Whitehall was at Selhurst Park to watch his beloved Arsenal on Thursday night. He’s not had much to laugh about of late; the Gunners heading into this encounter with just one victory from their previous five Premier League outings. Shkodran Mustafi’s 25th minute opener would have put a smile on the funnyman’s face, though.

Just over 24 hours after saying: ‘We didn’t score enough goals away from home, so that’s why I switched to a back four’, Arsene Wenger reverted to a back-three for the clash at Selhurst Park.
