Alexis Sanchez, 16 points and Mesut Ozil, 13 points


The Chilean international was once again rampant up front for Arsenal after netting a hattrick in Week 7 against Leicester City.
Sanchez bagged his first goal after just six minutes, ghosting in front of Matteo Darmian to
flick home a delightful back-heel from Ozil's low cross from the byline.
His second, thirteen minutes later, was even more majestic as he picked up the ball from
Walcott, cut inside from the left past the helpless Darmian and fired into the top corner from
the edge of the area.
Match of the Day host Gary Lineker and football journalist Musa Okwonga led the plaudits
on Twitter as the 26-year-old set social media alight once again:
Squawka Football shared his impressive stats:
After a difficult start to the season in front of goal, things are well and truly clicking into
place for Arsenal as Sanchez and Walcott continue to combine magnificently while their
frightening pace tears defences apart.
Behind them, Ozil is justifying his transfer fee by putting in the kind of incisive and creative
performances he did so regularly at Real Madrid.
The German international picked out Sanchez for the first goal after playing a lovely one-two
with Aaron Ramsey.
He doubled his side's tally just a minute later, neatly tucking home after the Gunners broke
with pace as he combined well with Sanchez and Walcott.

The former found the 26-year-old with a marvellous flick, Ozil then fed the marauding
Walcott with a measured through ball and the England international calmly turned away from
Daley Blind and returned it to the German who had continued his run into the area.
Defeats at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb, Chelsea and Olympiakos in September cast serious
doubts over the Gunners' ability to compete at the top of the Premier League and in Europe.
Indeed, their solidity in defence and midfield still leaves something to be desired, but in
attack Arsenal are now more than compensating for their failure to land another forward in
the summer.
Their in-form trio will most likely enjoy another productive outing when they take on
Watford in Week 9.

Frank Augstein/Associated Press


The Gunners' vulnerability at the back could well prove too much of a liability when they
take on Bayern Munich and the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller in the
Champions League.
However, the Bundesliga giants will have to be equally wary of Arsenal's own attacking
prowess, which could make the mouth-watering encounters much closer than might have
been anticipated earlier in the season.

Christian Eriksen, 15 points


Eriksen once again proved instrumental to Spurs as he memorably secured for them a point
thanks to two direct free-kicks from virtually the same position left of the goal.
The first was well-struck, but Swans 'keeper Lukasz Fabianski will be disappointed at letting
it in as the kickaimed toward the far corner rather than over the wall, but in truth hit fairly
centrallyleft him completely wrong-footed and sailed into the net unopposed.
Eriksen had the same idea with the second strike, and Fabianski this time anticipated the
move. The Pole could do little to stop it though, as the Dane found the top right-hand corner
and sent the ball beyond his reach.

Squawka Football and Opta Joe highlighted the midfielder's incredible threat from distance
and direct set-pieces:
Liverpool will need to be wary of giving away cheap free-kicks when they travel to White
Hart Lane in Week 9 and ensure they close down the 23-year-old in the final third.
If they give him the opportunity he could well punish the Reds in a game between two fairly
even sides that could be decided by fine margins indeed.
