Alexis Sanchez rowed with Arsenal team-mate Aaron Ramsey and hurled gloves off at the end of the Bournemouth draw
ALEXIS SANCHEZ could not hide his frustration as Arsenal's title hopes were dealt another huge blow as they drew at Bournemouth.
The Gunners fought back from three goals down to pick up a point at Dean Court - but the draw left them eight points off leaders Chelsea having played a game more.
The Chilean, who has stalled on signing a new deal at the Emirates, sparked the come back by scoring the first of Arsenal's goals.
But that came after he was involved in a huge row with Aaron Ramsey in the first half.
After Sanchez had shot wide with the visitors a goal down, there was a call from across the pitch.
Sanchez was not impressed - but neither was Ramsey, who didn't back down from the shouting match.
BBC 5Live pundit Steve Claridge spotted the row.
He said: "Ramsey and Sanchez are shouting at each other.
"Ramsey's not letting it go, getting really stuck into him. That's a sign of frustration."
Sanchez's frustration would only grow, despite Arsenal coming back into the game.
After the Chilean's header, Lucas Perez scored a brilliant volley to make it 3-2.
Bournemouth skipper Steve Francis was then sent off for a tackle on Ramsey.
Olivier Giroud then equalised late on - but the the French striker was SLAMMED for celebrating his equaliser, rather than getting the ball with time still on the clock.
And Sanchez was still angry.
As Granit Xhaka pushed forward with the ball in the dying seconds, referee Michael Oliver blew the whistle.
Sanchez was clearly fuming and THREW both of his gloves onto the ground in disgust.
Still raging, Sanchez then marched off down the tunnel without shaking the hands of any Bournemouth players or the officials.
He could be seen shouting to himself while waving his arms.
After the match Hector Bellerin posted a video of UFC star Dominick Cruz after his defeat last week.
He wrote: "Sums up how I feel.
"Great fight from the team at a tough ground.
"Disappointed but we keep moving forward!"
Bellerin had probably his worst performance since emerging as the side's starting right-back, and was at fault for the first and third goals.
Arsene Wenger later revealed that Bellerin had been playing with a knock and was unsure if he would be able to play.
The Frenchman also blamed a packed Christmas fixture list for the draw.
"We had three or four players we had to play tonight that we had to wait until the warm-up to see if they could play," said Wenger.
"Hector Bellerin had a knock so he was uncertain to play, and that's the problem with only 48 hours (between games); you have to play some players again.
"Laurent Koscielny too, and we had Gabriel (Paulista) that we didn't start in the end.
"And then I didn't start Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain because I didn't take a gamble with him, because I didn't know who we'd have to take off.
"This complicates the job a lot, but we have to shut up and cope with it."
