Speaking about Alexis Sanchez's impending return to the Arsenal starting line-up in the week, Arsene Wenger described the Chilean as 'a hyperactive guy.' It's not usually a term of endearment. It suggests that a person is out of control, unable to follow instructions, a bit of a loose cannon. But with some - Sanchez among them - it is something positive. 'He needs that to be happy,' added Wenger. Just as well, because this contest at Selhurst Park was football in hyperspeed. It was breathless, engrossing, end-to-end, the tempo keeping up with the incessant drum beat in the Holmesdale End and sometimes exceeding it.Alexis Sanchez made an impressive return to Arsenal's starting XI as they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the Barclays Premier League on SundayChilean had been given an extended rest after winning Copa AmericaBut he was champing at the bit to get involved and looked full of energySanchez was at the centre of every Arsenal attack in the first-halfAnd he out-jumped Joel Ward to force Damien Delaney to score own goalCLICK HERE to read the match report from Selhurst Park
