Has ex-Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez found a new home in Ligue 1?

Former Arsenal and Manchester United winger Alexis Sanchez has settled down well in the French Ligue 1 following a blistering start to life for Olympique Marseille. 

Sanchez was on target again for Marseille as the club piled on the pressure on league leaders Paris Saint-Germain with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over LOSC Lille.

The 33-year-old impressed at centre forward and scored one of the goals to help them return to winning ways after the UCL defeat to Tottenham in midweek.

With Lille leading 1-0 thanks to a well-struck effort from Ismaily, Sanchez finished a fine team move to equalise for Marseille at the break.

The goal was his fourth for the club in five (5) Ligue 1 matches this season. Before he was substituted with four (4) left to play, he had created three (3) chances, made three (3) key passes, and completed two (2) take-ons.

Igor Tudor has drilled his Marseille side into title contenders and the supporters are beginning to dream again.

Marseille joined leaders PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 table on 19 points with another win on Saturday. 

Marseille came from behind to beat a difficult Lille side 2-1 with goals from Alexis Sanchez, who cancelled out Ismaily's opener for Lille, and Samuel Gigot in either half.

The victory was the fifth in a row for Marseille, which sees them extend their unbeaten run to seven matches.
