Alexis Sanchez scores stunning hat-trick as the Arsenal striker empties the London Stadium

ALEXIS SANCHEZ scored a wonderful chip as he sold a dummy to West Ham keeper Darren Randolph before capping off a remarkable performance. 

Sanchez walked off with the match ball under his arm as he tore the Hammers to bits at the London Stadium to send supporters all over the country berserk, whilst West Ham’s piled out of the ground.

A cheeky reference to the contract situation currently going on at Arsenal as they desperately want Sanchez to sign another deal beyond 2018.

Celebrity Gooner Piers Morgan saluted the hat-trick hero by saying he is now convinced Sanchez is the man to lead the line for Arsenal.

Olivier Giroud is out injured and was given a lengthy break after the World Cup to come back fitter and stronger but in the mean time Sanchez has performed to the level that would fire any team to the title.

Sanchez is just simply on another level at the moment and with just 18 months lest on his contract his performance tonight is surely going to add a few more noughts to the discussion.

Manager Arsene Wenger knows what an asset his star man is, with the former Barcelona player assisting the opener for Mesut Ozil before he went to town himself in the London derby.

It sends out a message that after a another frustrating November the Arsenal are back and with Sanchez in such form Gunners fans will feel they can really challenge for the title.

Meanwhile in the West Ham camp its not as rosy as it is in Arsenal’s with the side sitting 17th in the Premier League and very much in a relegation battle in their debut season in the London Stadium.

A tweet from the official account of the Sky Bet Championship seems to mock the Hammers result with Arsenal and indicates they expect to see West Ham back in the Championship next season.

Even Hector Bellerin coouldnt believe how good his team mate Sanchez was, the injured right back was watching Arsenal’s 5-1 win at West Ham back at home.

The defender will be desperate for Sanchez to follow in his footsteps now in signing a new long term deal at the club and committing his future to Arsenal.

Former Gunner Lukas Podolski cheered on Sanchez by tweeting that the forward was on fire as he put a sorry West Ham side to the sword.

The former Arsenal striker scored a few goals against West Ham when before he left to join Turkish side Galatasaray but he didn’t produce a performance like Sanchez did, which was simply out of this world.
