Alexis Sanchez has been crowned the Copa America Centenario's best player after Chile won the tournament for the second successive year.

Defending champions Chile made it back-to-back wins with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory over Argentina following a goalless 120 minutes in Sunday's fiery final in New Jersey.

And afterwards at MetLife Stadium, Alexis received the Golden Ball award for his efforts throughout the centenary tournament in the United States, where he scored three goals and had four assists.

Chile captain and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo took the Golden Glove for a second consecutive year.
