Here are all the people who think Alexis Sanchez's goal against Hull definitely shouldn't have stood
Arsenal didn’t seem to be having much luck in the first 30 minutes against Hull at the Emirates Stadium. Again.
Then along came Alexis Sanchez, to break the deadlock and take the lead. But should his goal for the Gunners have been disallowed? Was it, in fact, a blatant handball?
These people on Twitter appear to think so.

Hand ball no??

1-0, off Sanchez's hand, the stroke of luck Arsenal needed.

Enjoyed Harry Maguire trying to grab Sanchez's hand as he celebrated, as if it was vital forensic evidence.

A tweet from Arsenal’s official Twitter account saying Sanchez was there to “poke it home” especially got a lot of attention…

You know what, Twitter was just generally having a lot of fun with the whole situation.
It can't be handball if you're wearing gloves. #ARSHUL #AFC #Sanchez pic.twitter.com/tq2X6M74W2

People totally appreciate it was a difficult decision for the ref, though.
Sanchez wouldn't have been able to score that goal had it not hit his hand but it wasn't deliberate. What's the correct decision?

And, whether the goal should have stood or not, there’s no denying Sanchez is having a cracking time of it at the mo.
Alexis Sánchez is now the Premier League's joint-top scorer this season (16) alongside Romelu Lukaku.

15 – Alexis Sanchez has been involved in 15 goals in his last 13 Premier League games for Arsenal (10 goals, 5 assists). Priceless.

But surely you saw this tweet coming…
Some record Sanchez has. You've got to hand it to him.
