Video: Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez scores brave diving header at Copa America

Tom Victor

Hosts Chile have emerged as one of the favourites for the Copa America, scoring 10 goals in their three group games.

Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez has been key to their success, and he found the net again in a 5-0 thrashing of Bolivia, the biggest win of the competition so far.

The Chileans included Arturo Vidal in the starting line-up despite the midfielder appearing in court ahead of the game on drink-driving charges.

Alexis, who scored for Arsenal in the 2015 FA Cup Final, quickly became the centre of attention, striking the woodwork twice before stooping to add to Charles Aranguiz’s opener.
