- Rob Green saves Alexis Sanchez penalty in Arsenal vs QPR clash
- QPR forward Eduardo Vargas pointed to Green to signal which way to dive
- Vargas and Sanchez have been Chile team-mates since 2010
Rob Green made the save, but Eduardo Vargas had as much to do with Alexis Sanchez's missed penalty as his QPR team-mate did.
Arsenal
forward Sanchez stepped up to take a penalty inside nine minutes of the
Boxing Day London derby but little did he know his Chile team-mate
Eduardo Vargas was signalling to Green which way to dive.
Vargas was
clearly seen pointing to Rangers No 1 Green to tell him which way to
dive and the former England No 1 duly obliged, leaping to his left to
keep out the spot-kick.
Sanchez and
Vargas are close friends having played together for Chile since 2010,
but the Arsenal hitman may have to be more wary about what he divulges
to his compatriot in future...
Vargas then points to Green to tell him which way to dive for his international team-mate's penalty
Sure enough, Sanchez went the way Vargas pointed and Green guessed right
Green gets his hand down to thwart Sanchez and keep the score at 0-0
