Oxlade-Chamberlain expressed his delighted for Sanogo and urged him to take confidence from his display.
"He held the ball up well and hopefully he can score a few more like that"
"It's important he got that goal, it's been a long time coming,” the England international said.
"In pre-season he showed us what he could do, and he took [the chance] tonight. It was a good start for him, a goal always helps your confidence and I thought he played really well.
"He held the ball up well and hopefully he can score a few more like that.
"Wins always relieve pressure,” he continued. "When we win everyone's happy. The players, the manager, the staff and the fans are happy.
"There's a long way to go in this competition and the league. We need to try to back this win up with some good results in the future."
