Arsenal fans call Alexis Sanchez ‘childish’ after substitution tantrum

Alexis Sanchez, bless him, doesn't appear to be happy with most things lately.

As the wait for a breakthrough in his contract talks goes on for Arsenal fans, his reaction to the team's defeat at Manchester City... ... and draw at Bournemouth has been a cause for concern for many a Gooner. Still, this week has been better for Alexis. A 4-0 win away at Swansea, coming just days after Arsenal fans revealed a new banner for the Chilean's two beloved golden retrievers (yes, really) - surely this would be enough to put a smile on his face? Well, apparently not. Minutes after scoring Arsenal's final goal at the Liberty Stadium, Arsene Wenger decided it was best to rest Sanchez, replacing him with the recently fit-again Danny Welbeck. After reportedly looking annoyed at Wenger's decision to bring him off early, Sanchez was pictured with his coat pulled over his face during the game's final minutes. And while some (including the likes of Piers Morgan) said that this was a sign of Sanchez's winning mentality... https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/820312909179916289 https://twitter.com/Gunner_D7/status/820337031830269952 ... plenty of other Arsenal fans were unimpressed. https://twitter.com/gunnerblog/status/820309816543428613?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/FunnyGooner/status/820309874617753600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/twittacm/status/820309613522354180 https://twitter.com/rickytst/status/820320880156872704 https://twitter.com/dancoops/status/820318235853783041 https://twitter.com/DuffySkinner/status/820347330524286981 And while some might have taken it as another hint that his time at the club may be coming to an end, Billy here was holding out hope that a sight of the new banner at the Emirates next week would get Sanchez back onside. https://twitter.com/AFCGoonerO/status/820311313213779971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Time will tell.
