As we all know by now, Alexis Sanchez scored a superb hat-trick against Leicester City after months without a goal.
The Chilean has been under pressure to perform recently and although he’s still been contributing elsewhere on the pitch, as a forward, his main objective is to be banging in those goals.
The goalless period was understandably hard for the 26-year-old but I doubt anyone realised just how rough it’d been for him until he posted on Instagram following the 5-2 victory against Leicester.
The caption of his post contained a quote saying that “without crisis, there are no challenges” and essentially insinuated that the goal drought has made him stronger.
Obviously, I don’t think many people would describe what Alexis experienced in the opening stages of the season as a ‘crisis’ but what matters is that he’s back to goalscoring and is clearly delighted with his hat-trick.
