ALEXIS SANCHEZ upset his Chile team-mates with his fan-snubbing tantrum after the 1-0 defeat to Argentina on Thursday night, according to reports in South America.
The Arsenal man is having a tough time, with the Gunners losing four of their last five Premier League games and fuming supporters demanding Arsene Wenger’s head.
The 28-year-old was even dropped for the top-flight clash with Liverpool on March 4, getting the second half of the 3-1 defeat that contributed to them dropping down to sixth.

And the international break offered little respite with his team losing to Lionel Messi’s side through a single goal from the Barcelona star.
After the final whistle, all of the Chile players went over to thank their supporters for making the trip but the Gunners star stormed straight down the tunnel.
Even Bayern Munich playmaker Arturo Vidal, who was suspended for the game, made his way to the away stand to salute fans.
Sanchez huffed and puffed his way through the game, tugging angrily at his shirt and lifting it up and over his head in frustration.
The forward did manage a smile on Friday when he zoomed home on a private jet to the unveiling of a statue in his home town.
On Tuesday night Chile have another crucial Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier with a home clash against Venezuela.
Sanchez’s side is currently sixth in the ten-team South American group and face missing out on the tournament if form and results don’t improve.
