Radio station Futbol de Primera have released a clip of Alexis Sanchez appearing to berate his Arsenal team-mates on the pitch for celebrating their late equaliser against Anderlecht in the laboured 2-1 win last night.

Sanchez, who arrived from Barcelona for £35m in the summer was named the Gunners' man of the match in the Champions League victory, which was sealed after two goals in the final two minutes from Kieran Gibbs and Lukas Podolski.

During a dire performance, Arsenal had gone behind to a header from Honduras winger Andy Najar in the 71st minute, and looked like a defeat to the Belgian side was in the offing before their late salvo.

The video (below), with the Chilean shaking his head in dismissive fashion, was shot just after the Gunners' equaliser in the 89th minute.

The win puts Arsenal three points behind Borussia Dortmund in Group D.
