The Arsenal star broke club conduct to defy the penalty-taking order in the 4-1 win at Hull last weekend.
Arsene Wenger has warned star Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez over his conduct after the Chilean defied the club-set penalty-taking order in the 4-1 win over Hull City last weekend, according to a report in the Mirror.
Sanchez had already opened the scoring at the KCOM Stadium when he took control from the spot after Jake Livermore had handled the ball and was sent off.
However, the Chile star missed his penalty, although he did score a late second as the Gunners ran out 4-1 winners over the promoted side.
Though his brace took his tally to four goals from his first six appearances of the season, it appears as though things are not all rosy for the 27-year-old at the Emirates Stadium.
The Mirror claim that Wenger was furious with his star man for breaking club rules as he seized the ball to take the penalty himself despite standing behind Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott in the spot-kick penalty order.
The paper adds that the French manager has made it clear in no uncertain terms that he will not stand for Sanchez defying his orders again.
Sanchez’s future at Arsenal already appears to be up in the air, with the forward angling for a new lucrative contract whilst other clubs sniff around his signature.
The report of a possible breakdown in relations between himself and Wenger will likely alarm Gunners supporters.
Support in Wenger has dwindled over the last few years, and the truth of the matter is that many fans would probably choose Sanchez over their long-serving manager at this juncture.
