Sanchez scores twice, sent off as Inter win

Published on: 28 September 2019

Alexis Sanchez scored twice but was later sent off for simulation as Inter Milan beat Sampdoria 3-1 in Serie A action on Saturday.

Sanchez, on loan with Inter following a disastrous spell with Manchester United, made the most his first start for Inter. The Chile international scored by deflecting in Stefano Sensi's long-range opener after 20 minutes and tapping in another Sensi cross two minutes later.

The 30-year-old ex-Arsenal star was then sent off after receiving a second yellow card for diving just after the break, leaving his side to play the entire second half a man down.

Jakub Jankto pulled a goal back for the hosts, but Roberto Gagliardini added the third for Antonio Conte's side to keep their perfect record intact.

Sanchez will miss next week's blockbuster matchup between Inter and eight-time defending league champions Juventus, who beat SPAL on goals Cristiano Ronaldo and Miralem Pjanic to also remain without a loss this season.
