Alexis Sanchez showed his frustration at being substituted during Arsenal's 1-0 win over Norwich.
The Chile international was pulled from the action with just six minutes remaining of the Gunners' 1-0 victory over the Canaries on Saturday Night Football, with Francis Coquelin coming off the bench.
Sanchez was clearly unhappy with Arsene Wenger's decision to end his game early, and aired his discontent publicly as he blanked his manager on the sidelines and walked straight down the tunnel at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking in the SNF studio, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp claimed Sanchez's actions were a clear indication of a sense of disharmony in the Arsenal camp at the moment.
While it is difficult to substantiate such a claim, a sense of disharmony was clear among the Arsenal supporters, with sections of the home crowd participating is two planned protests against Wenger and the club's hierarchy.
