The treble was also a fourth for Wenger’s Arsenal against Leicister, they’ve become the opponent that Arsenal have scored hat tricks against most often since 1996.

ALEXIS Sanchez rediscovered his goalscoring touch in spectacular style this afternoon (Saturday) as he scored a stunning hat-trick away at Leicester.

STAND-IN goalkeeper David Ospina had a night to forget as Arsenal slumped to a 3-2 home defeat against Olympiakos to leave their Champions League hopes in jeopardy.

The Chilean’s treble was also a milestone for manager Arsene Wenger, with it being the 30th League hat trick of his Arsenal managerial career, only Liverpool have managed more Premier League hat tricks in that time.

Ghana wing-half Jeffrey Schlupp and his Leicester City side watched their enviable Premier League unbeaten record crash down before their home fans as Arsenal hammered them 5-2 at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

“It puts us in a bad position but we are still in it”, he added.

However Arsenal, led by the talismanic Alexis Sanchez, scored a 5-2 victory; with the Chilean scoring his first goals of the season and finding the net for the first-time in over 14 hours of Premier League footballer.

“I think he has had 31 shots on goal since the start of the season and with his finishing qualities that should allow him five to six goals”.

The great shame of this latest problem is that Wilshere had finished last season strongly after a separate ankle injury and then looked back to his old sharpness during pre-season.

Theo Walcott has spoken of his admiration for Arsenal rising star Jeff Reine-Adelaide and has backed him for future success.
