Sutton chairman Elliott: Wenger all class with Alexis introduction

Published on: 22 February 2017

Sutton chairman Bruce Elliott has praised Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger for his approach to their FA Cup clash.

Elliott wrote for the London Evening Standard: "What I can't forget is the wonderful behaviour of everyone at Arsenal and a great chat I had with manager Arsene Wenger in the away dressing room after the match.

"We spent two minutes talking about the game, football and I must admit I found him to be a perfect gentleman.

"He knew what it was like to be in small changing rooms from his time working in France many years ago.

"But it was during our chat that I was given the impression that he brought on Alexis Sanchez late on in the tie because he knew what it would mean to us and all the fans that were watching.

"I know the decision to bring him on surprised a few, but I thought it was a real touch of class.

"I was sitting up in the stands at the time and our manager Paul Doswell came out of the dug-out, looked at me and pointed at Sanchez coming on. The look on his face said it all."
