Sanchez caused some controversy when he clutched his face deep in stoppage time after being struck on the shoulder by a Christian Fuchs throw-in.

And Keown wasn't impressed with his antics.

“It was very embarrassing. Sanchez is becoming a bit of a drama queen — he seems to be making a lot out of everything at the moment," Keown told the Daily Mail.

“This behaviour will not help him when it comes to 50/50 decisions with referees.

“A few moments after the throw-in incident, Sanchez was awarded a free-kick. It looked a nasty foul on Sanchez but the referee told the player to get up.

“You do not want a reputation as a player who falls over easily. When Sanchez arrived at Arsenal I liked his toughness. Now he is looking for protection from referees."
