Olivier Giroud’s red card early in the second half set up a nervy finish but goals from Alexis Sanchez and Tomas Rosicky secured the points for Arsene Wenger’s side
A superb display from Alexis Sanchez helped Arsenal to a 2-1 Premier League triumph over QPR, despiteOlivier Giroud’s needless red card. Alexis scored a first-half opener and, after Giroud had been sent-off following a moment of madness, then set up Tomas Rosicky for a second as Arsenal took the points at the Emirates Stadium. The game went to script in the early exchanges, as the hosts completely dominated possession amid some dogged defending from struggling QPR. The opening goal came eight minutes before half-time when Alexis, who had missed an early penalty, headed home. Arsenal were hampered after the restart by Giroud’s ill-disciplined sending off after 53 minutes – the striker shown a straight red card for pushing his head into the face of Nedum Onuoha. However, Rosicky – making his first Premier League start of the campaign as one of two changes for Arsenal – grabbed a second goal, only for Charlie Austin to give the visitors late hope when hammering home from the penalty spot. A leveller was not forthcoming, though, as Rangers’ unhappy run of not picking up a single point on the road this term continued.
