Arsene Wenger Suggests Ref to Blame for Alexis Sanchez, Christian Fuchs Incident

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has blamed the referee for Alexis Sanchez's yellow card after a bizarre incident involving Leicester City defender Christian Fuchs in the Premier League on Wednesday night, per Mattias Karen for ESPN FC.

Sanchez was booked after persistently attempting to obstruct Fuchs' throw-in, which resulted in the Leicester player launching the ball straight at the Chilean. Despite the ball appearing to strike the former Barcelona man on the shoulder, he went to ground clutching his face.

"I think he didn't know that he had to be further away," Wenger said.
