Sanchez Scores on Arsenal Return as United Advances
LONDON (AP) - Booed throughout his return to Arsenal, Alexis Sanchez responded to the rancor with a rare goal for Manchester United and reveled in the celebrations.
The forward's fifth goal in 33 appearances since leaving Arsenal a year ago set United on its way to a 3-1 victory on Friday that booked a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
There was a fiery conclusion when Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac squared up to United forward Marcus Rashford, setting off a melee that Jesse Lingard and Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi became embroiled in which spilled off the pitch. United captain Ashley Young also picked up a coin that appeared to have been thrown from the crowd.
