LONDON (Reuters) - Alexis Sanchez was presented with two of the easiest goals he will ever score but it did not stop Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger purring about his striker's "super quality" after the Chilean's match-winning double against Sunderland on Saturday.

Sanchez cashed in on two dreadful mistakes from defender Wes Brown and goalkeeper Vito Mannone to convert the simplest of opportunities and add to the misery of Sunderland, who conceded eight goals through inept defending against Southampton last weekend.
