Pulis rounds on Sanchez
Print Edition
West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis branded Alexis Sanchez a cheat after accusing the Arsenal star of diving to win a free kick in Monday鈥檚 English Premier League clash.
Pulis was furious that Sanchez went unpunished after winning a first-half free kick on the edge of the Albion penalty area with a theatrical fall after a challenge from Craig Dawson.
Referee Bobby Madley later turned down Albion penalty appeals when Jay Rodriguez was brought down by Shkodran Mustafi with the scoreline at 0-0, and also gave Arsenal a spot-kick which was converted by Alexandre Lacazette.
Arsenal won 2-0 thanks to Lacazette鈥檚 brace and Pulis, who has never won as a manager at the Emirates, was quick to make it clear he was unhappy with Chile forward Sanchez.
鈥淭he disappointing thing is Sanchez falls for the first free kick, that鈥檚 cheating,鈥 the Welshman said. 鈥淛ay is very honest and does not get rewarded. Everyone saw what happened. Sanchez actually dives for the first free kick and he should be booked for diving.
鈥淭hen you see the tackle in the box. The referee had a great view. Everyone has seen it and can make their minds up.鈥
It was a disappointing way for West Brom midfielder Gareth Barry to celebrate making a record 633rd EPL appearance.
The 36-year-old Barry, who has also played for Aston Villa, Manchester City, and Everton, passed the mark set by former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs. Barry鈥檚 next target is breaking Giggs鈥 top-flight record of 672 total appearances.
