Everyone is trying to stop Alexis Sanchez from scoring by fair means or foul – and failing.
The unstoppable forward slotted home another brace for Chile against Peru to make it an astonishing 9 goals in his last 5Â games for club and country.
The defences of Leicester City, Olympiakos, Man United and Brazil have all failed to repress Sanchez’ goalscoring instincts in recent weeks, and prior to the game the Peruvians were understandably fearful of Chile’s star man.
So much so that they attempted to curse the Arsenal man using a voodoo tortoise, in the hope that the dark arts would stifle the Chilean’s own magic…
Alexis Sanchez victim of magic!MAGIC!!Will Alexis Sanchez be cursed forever after Peru fans did this?!

Unfortunately for the local witch-doctors, their cursing ritual had no impact at all, as Sanchez ran riot with two goals and an assist in a thrilling 4-3 victory…
