Alexis Sanchez netted in the 92nd minute to secure Arsenal a 1-0 victory at Burnley and move them into the Premier League's top four.

Arsenal had to rely on Petr Cech to keep the game goalless in the first half, with the keeper pushing Johann Berg Gudmundsson's strike onto the post, before later palming away Liam Brady's free kick.

Alexandre Lacazette had chances to win the game for Arsenal in the second half, but was first denied by Nick Pope and then saw another effort deflect wide.

But with the game seemingly set to end all square, the visitors were awarded a penalty after Aaron Ramsey was pushed in the area, with Sanchez slotting it home at the death to secure the three points.
