SO that went well then…
Alexis Sanchez started for Arsenal the first time this season at Liverpool but was substituted after 62 minutes. And the Gunners were hammered 4-0.
Sanchez, the subject of summer-long transfer speculation, trooped off having put his shirt over his head in resigned mood as he was replaced by Olivier Giroud.
The Chilean had a quiet, ineffective game as Arsenal succumbed to one of the best Liverpool performances in years.
After Mohamed Salah had converted Liverpool’s breakaway third goal, Sanchez slumped to his knees.
Eventually he stood up, shook his head and tried to get into the game.
But his efforts were in vain. A couple of minutes later he trooped off, touched hands with boss Arsene Wenger, and slumped onto the bench.
But as he took his place behind the dugout Sanchez was spotted smirking. This drew the following comment from Sky Sports analyst Gary Neville, who said:
“I doubt he’s aware the camera’s on him. Not sure what he’s smiling about.
Then, as the camera panned towards disappointed Arsenal fans, Neville added: “That’s more representative of what he should be looking like.”
