Alexis Sanchez recorded his first Premier League goal Sunday just days after scoring his first goal for Arsenal during Champions League qualifying.

It originally looked as though Yaya Sanogo would open the scoring for Arsenal against Leicester City, but as the ball fell awkwardly to the striker he was able to knock it across the six-yard box and found an open Sanchez for the neat finish past two defenders.

The joy, however, didn't last long for Arsenal as Leicester forward Leonardo Ulloa leveled the match two minutes later with a header past a poorly positioned Wojciech Szczesny.
