Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger accused Liverpool midfielder Fabinho of cheating after Inter Milan attacke Alexis Sanchez was sent off last night.

Alexis was sent off for a second yellow after a challenge on the Brazilian international.

It came just a minute after Lautaro Martinez scored the only goal on the night, as the Reds progressed to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 2-1 aggregate victory.

Wenger, who signed Sanchez for Arsenal back in 2014, suggested Fabinho "made more of it" to get his opponent sent off.

The Frenchman told beIN SPORTS: "Borderline between cheating and being clever.

"He was cheating, he made more of it. Maybe he had pain, he was touched by Sanchez. You cannot say it was completely fake.

"Maybe he could have got up quicker. It's one of those fouls - when it's one of your plays you say it's clever, when you're completely neutral like we're supposed to be you can say he could have made less of it.

"He didn't want to hurt him, he played first the ball."
