Alexis Sanchez and Erling Haaland - one is a legend of the game and the other one is a rising star. Alexis Sanchez quickly rose to fame while playing for Barcelona. He then went on to become one of the best players in Premier League after joining Arsenal. Sanchez possessed incredible skills. He was quick and always managed to find the back of the net. The Chilean scored 60 goals in 122 games that he played for the Gunners. He decided to leave the North London team to join the Reds in Manchester in 2018. After that, his downfall began.

Alexis Sanchez's miserable record since December 2017
Sanchez was not the same player at Manchester United as he was for Arsenal. He was termed as a £500k-a-week flop at Manchester United. He spent a year and a half at Manchester United before leaving for Inter Milan. Sanchez's poor form can be measured from the number of goals he has scored since the past two seasons. Believe it or not, Alexis Sanchez has scored only 7 goals since December 2017. It is the same number of goals Erling Haaland has scored since January 18, 2020.
