Chilean teammate sells out Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez during penalty routine
Alexis Sanchez turned in a Man of the Match display at the Emirates, which saw Arsenal edge Queens Park Rangers on Saturday morning (Singapore).
The 2-1 scoreline spared the Chilean's blushes after an awfully-taken early penalty.
But did his national teammate Eduardo Vargas give away the Arsenal star's penalty strategy?
It certainly seems that way after Reddit user Filly_Fally posted a screenshot showing the QPR man - clearly putting club first ahead of country - pointing out the likeliest direction of Sanchez's spot-kick to goalkeeper Robert Green.

Aided by Sanchez's rather limp kick, Green used the intel given to dive correctly and stop the Gunners from taking an early lead.
While Sanchez went on to score the opener and lay off the winner for Tomas Rosicky - never mind Olivier Giroud's brainless sending off - the former Barcelona attacker might want to have a few words with Vargas the next time they're on international duty.
