The sight of Alexis Sanchez coaxing his Arsenal team-mates to help him celebrate scoring against Crystal Palace was evidence enough of the division running through Arsene Wenger's side's dressing room.

That was the verdict of Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness who was surprised by Arsenal's response.

Sanchez put Arsenal back in front at Selhurst Park but was seen waving his arm towards colleagues gathered closer to the half-time way, an indication that he wanted his fellow team-mates to join him in his celebrations.

The Chilean is out of contract in the summer and while Sanchez was embraced by a few players, a handful of other members of the team embraced in a separate huddle.

“I’ve only ever seen that if a team’s 5-1 up with five minutes to go, you would get that," Souness said.
