Alexis Sanchez pulled off an outrageous piece of skill against Dinamo Zagreb, controlling the ball with the back of his neck.

In the 75th minute of Arsenal's 3-0 Champions League victory last night, the Chile ace cushioned the ball perfectly with his neck to get the Gunners off on another attack.

Sanchez scored twice in the game, which kept alive their hopes of Champions League qualification.

Arsenal now travel to Olympiakos, where a 2-0 victory or any win by scoring three goals will see the Gunners progress to the Last 16 for the 16th successive season.

WATCH: SANCHEZ'S MOMENT OF BRILLIANCE

After losing three of their opening four group matches, Wenger's men needed snookers to make sure they did not fail to reach the knockout stages for the first time in 16 seasons but now progression is back in their own hands, the Frenchman wants to see his players make up for a sluggish start.

"What we wanted was to come out of this game with a chance to qualify," he said.

"We needed to do the job and Bayern Munich needed to do the job and they did that well. It gives us a chance but how big the chance is I don't know. I believe we can do it.

"At least tonight we are in with a chance. Let's make right what we did not do right until now."
