Sanchez has been instrumental in keeping Chelsea in games, as seen in their 1-1 draw against Arsenal over the weekend. Here are a few reasons why he deserves more credit:

Sanchez has come a long way since his initial struggles at Chelsea. Last season, he made five errors that led to a goal, the highest in the Premier League, but this season, he has committed zero errors while keeping six clean sheets and conceding only ten goals in his 13 Premier League games.

One of his biggest weaknesses last season was coming off his line and claiming the ball, but this season, he has hardly put a foot wrong in that regard. He has completed 22 high claims, and his teammates now trust him more to deal with crosses and set pieces.

Of course, Sanchez hasn't been perfect. He received a red card five minutes into the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford, but even then, he did the right thing in attempting to close down an opponent.

Chelsea's young squad needs leaders, and Sanchez has stepped up to the challenge. He played a key role in their Club World Cup triumph and is now helping the team chase more trophies.

With a lot of football still to be played, Chelsea is looking strong at the moment. Having an assured goalkeeper like Sanchez can make all the difference between winning and coming second.

Sanchez is proving a lot of people wrong, and his performance is a testament to his growth and dedication.
