Arsenal came from behind to beat Leicester 5-2 on the road thanks to a hat trick from Alexis Sanchez. Arsenal went behind inside 15 minutes as Jamie Vardy drilled a low shot past Petr Cech. The England striker hit the post, then minutes later he controlled a pass from Danny Drinkwater and bent the ball around the diving goalkeeper. However, the Gunners hit back a few minutes later as Vardy hit the bar with a header and Arsenal counter attacked quickly. Theo Walcott breezed past Robert Huth and finished coolly into the bottom corner. On 33 minutes, Arsenal were ahead as Hector Bellerin crossed for Alexis Sanchez to score his first of the season. The Chilean then doubled his tally with a cross that evaded goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to find its way into the net and bagged his hat trick with a stunning shot from outside the area. Leicester, who have made a habit of comebacks in recent weeks, netted again before the final whistle through Vardy, but could not complete another as Olivier Giroud bagged a fifth late on.
