Alexis Sánchez scored twice in Arsenal's 3-0 win over Burnley on Saturday.

"[Alexis] was top, it was a top performance," he Sky Sports after the game. "We had a few top performances in the team today but he scored a very important goal."

"He is quality, exceptional, he takes responsibility. He goes at people and fights, he can give a final ball and score, that's what you want from great players."

Wenger compared Alexis to Luis Suárez on Friday.

"Sanchez and Suarez, they played street football, park football," Wenger told reporters. "If you go 30, 40 years back in England, life was tougher. Society has changed. We are much more protected than we were 30 years ago. We have all changed. We have all become a bit softer.

"I said many times, when you see where Sanchez comes from, where he was born, and you think he finishes at Barcelona and Arsenal, you need something special, or it does not work.

"There are similarities between Sanchez and Suarez. Sometimes Suarez will give the ball to the opponent but he gets it back straight away. Sanchez is the same."
