Arsene Wenger: 'Christian Fuchs threw the ball at Sanchez on purpose'

Arsene Wenger says Christian Fuchs threw the ball at Alexis Sanchez "on purpose" and should have been booked after a late incident during Arsenal's 1-0 win over Leicester on Wednesday.

Robert Huth's own goal handed Arsenal victory at the Emirates but Gunners striker Sanchez stole the headlines.

As Leicester chased an equaliser, defender Fuchs took a throw-in and seemingly aimed the ball at Sanchez.

The Chilean went down theatrically after a short delay, and was booked.

The ball hit Sanchez on the shoulder, but the 28-year-old fell to the ground clutching his face and was handed a yellow card by referee Mike Jones for not retreating far enough.
