It appears the rematch between Chelsea and Arsenal will have plenty of action both on and off the pitch. After Arsene Wenger pushed Jose Mourinho while on the sidelines, The Gunners' recent signing Alexis Sanchez wanted to have his own fight against Branislav Ivanovic.
After enduring several harsh kicks against him, including the one that sparked Wenger's rage, Sanchez controlled the ball near the sideline. Ivanovic approached to strap the ball from him, but managed to hit the Chilean one more time. After he lost the ball, Sanchez threw a punch to Ivanovic, hitting him in the back of the head. Check the video here.
After the footage circled around social media, this were some reactions Sanchez's antics sprung:
Apparently Alexis Sanchez tried to punch Ivanovic yesterday, and I'm all "...you do realize he's Serbian, right?"
