Arsenal 2-0 West Brom: Sanchez double moves Gunners up to third

Apr 21, 2016 4:42:54 PM

Arsenal boosted its Champions League qualification hopes with a comfortable Premier League victory over West Brom.

Alexis Sanchez scored twice as Arsenal tasted victory in the Premier League for the 500th time with a 2-0 win over West Brom at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday.

Sanchez made it six goals in his last six league games with a first-half double, his first a low drive from outside the box and the second a free kick that deceived Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster.

Gareth McAuley hit the crossbar with a header in between the goals, but Arsenal was otherwise rarely troubled as it recovered from successive draws against West Ham and Crystal Palace to move above Manchester City into third place.
