13. Alexis Sanchez vs. Manchester United October 4, 2015

Skill: 4– In my opinion this ranks up there with any Arsenal team goal ever. You see how almost every player on the pitch  can contribute in one splendid play. Bellerin’s speed, Coquelin’s toughness, Ramsey’s aggressiveness, Ozil’s timing and Alexis’ finishing. All came together in one sublime moment of football. For me this has to be Arsenal’s goal of the year so far.

Opponent: 4- Manchester United will always be one of Arsenal’s main opponents. The rivalry which has blossomed between these two clubs is the stuff that legends are genuinely made of. At the moment, United may be stumbling to click into gear, but a win against the Red Devils is always important.

Significance: 3- This 3-0 victory against United was Arsenal’s first victory against the Mancunian giants since May 2011. That alone is reason enough to celebrate this as a famous win for the Gunners. Furthermore, this game kick-started a fantastic run of games for Arsenal this season, proving that this Gunners squad is up to the task of challenging for the title.
