Red to Sanchez, Wenger against Fabinho: “He cheated because …”

Spoken in the BeIN Sports studios, Arsene Wengerformer Arsenal manager, commented on Mateu Lahoz’s decision to expel Alexis Sanchez for the intervention on Fabinho in Liverpool-Inter: “We are on the borderline between cheating and being intelligent. Fabinho, on this foul , he was on the other side … He cheated and he made it. Maybe he was in pain, he was touched by Sanchez, it wasn’t entirely false. Maybe he could get up quicker. It was one of those faults where you say to your player ‘he’s smart’, when you are completely neutral you say ‘he could have done less’. He touched him but didn’t want to hurt him, he touched the ball first. “
