Alexis Sanchez appears to laugh on bench as Bayern score fifth in crushing Arsenal defeat

ALEXIS SANCHEZ gifted Bayern Munich a second goal on his return to the side – before waving to fans and appearing to LAUGH when substituted.

The Chilean was returning to the starting lineup after making up with boss Arsene Wenger, but it was not the best of nights for the striker in the 5-1 defeat.

It was a quiet night until then for the Gunners’ key man, but on the 68th minute with the score at 1-1, he dawdled too close to goal before being pick-pocketed by Arjen Robben.

The Dutchman made no mistake by slotting it home, leaving a despondent Sanchez to reflect on what he had done as Bayern extended their aggregate lead.

And just minutes later, he was substituted to a mixed reception from the Emirates Stadium crowd, waving to the fans before taking his place on the bench.

In the 16 minutes which followed his substitution for Mesut Ozil, the 10 men of Arsenal – having had Laurent Koscielny sent off for a straight red – conceded three awful goals.

Douglas Costa and a double from Arturo Vidal came in quick succession – and Sanchez appeared to LAUGH while sitting on the subs bench talking to Petr Cech.

It was another drubbing for sorry Arsenal, taking the aggregate score to a whopping 10-2, and Sanchez looks like he is heading for the exit this summer after a training ground bust-up this week.

The score was sickening for Wenger and there were boos at the final whistle after the heaviest ever defeat at the Emirates Stadium.

And Sanchez’s apparent giggle on the subs bench unsurprisingly did not go down well with Arsenal fans – but fans of other clubs were bemused as well…
